In this engaging introductory dialogue, Todd Moody maps the spectrum of philosophical arguments and counterarguments for the existence of God. Structuring colloquial conversations along classical lines, he presents a lively and accessible discussion of issues that are central to both theist and atheist thinking, including the burden of proof, the first cause, a necessary being, the natural order, suffering, miracles, experience as knowledge, and rationality without proof.
The second edition is a significant and comprehensive revision. Moody broadens and deepens the conversation by addressing additional arguments, such as the problem of animal suffering, the moral argument, intelligent design, and human exceptionalism. The discussion of the cosmological argument is updated to reflect recent work on the Kalam Cosmological Argument.
A short preface explains the scope of the work and the purpose of the dialogue form. Suggested further readings of contemporary and classical sources are also included.

Todd C. Moody is Professor of Philosophy at St. Joseph's University.
Comments on the first edition: . . . absolutely superb . . . simply brilliant, a perfect combination of philosophical depth, balance, clarity, and good writing. It is quite the best philosophical dialogue I have ever read, better than Plato in sustaining attention to the pros and cons of the issues in question. --James N. Jordan, Queens College
