They cover religious experience, arguments for God's existence, faith and reason, religious language, evil, human destiny, and religion and life. Neither the glossary nor the biographical sketches includes pronunciation guides. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Reviews

[Stephen Bedard · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a really good introduction to the philosophy of religion. It has introductions by the author and then has samples from different philosophers throughout history. Very helpful.

[Wm. Wells · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great compilation of philosophical writings. Not my idea of light reading, but was an interesting textbook.
