Abstract

The book consists of readings on the central issue in philosophical theology: the existence of God. It may be used alone as a main book or as a complement to works on related issues. It presents the most influential classical and contemporary statements on problems pertaining to a belief in God, including arguments for the existence of God, the nature of faith and reason, the problem of evil, and meaning of religious languages; readings are presented chronologically, allowing for an emphasis on historical continuities and connections.
