Ne Perspectives on Old-time Religion [Hardcover]

This book explores recently opened avenues in logic and philosophical analysis to offer new perspectives on time-honored religious beliefs. Topics covered include the nature of divine attributes, the implications of divine benevolence and divine justice, arguments in support of theism and atheism, and religion and morality.

What we have is a philosophically original, vigorously argued, literate, and even at times entertaining defense of religious belief covering a wide range of topics which are seen to be interrelated in deep and sometimes surprising ways....A highly original, provocative book which should be read and grappled with by all who work in the field of its concern, the philosophy of religion. It should spark debate and enhance the level of reflection about its chosen topics for years to come. --The Thomist
