Description
 
  • A concise anthology featuring fifty-two classic and contemporary readings in the philosophy of religion
  • Topically-organized to provide broad coverage of seven major topics: the concept of God, the existence of God, religious language, miracles and mysticism, belief in God, resurrection and immortality, and religious pluralism
  • Selections are carefully edited for maximum clarity and accessibility to undergraduates
What are the inherent claims that lie at the core of religion? Which of them are defensible by reason, and which are not? Potential answers to these questions and more, from influential philosophers past and present, may be found in this short book edited by Steven M. Cahn. Featuring fifty-two classic and contemporary readings, Exploring Philosophy of Religion: Text and Readings is a topically-organized anthology that presents broad coverage of seven major areas in the philosophy of religion - the concept of God, the existence of God, religious language, miracles and mysticism, belief in God, resurrection and immortality, and religious pluralism - in a clear and accessible format. With guiding introductory material from Professor Cahn, each of the readings has been carefully selected and edited for maximum clarity and comprehensiveness; only the most essential material is included. To further foster understanding, the text also features an appendix consisting of Professor Cahn’s monograph, God, Reason, and Religion , which provides a synthesis and interpretation of the crucial issues raised throughout the readings.

Readership: One-semester undergraduate courses in philosophy of religion
