This is simply an excellent collection of essays on religion. The style is essentially having an essay "pro" something and then having a response ("con"). It's very dialectical and fair. Christianity is treated more extensively than other religions, but it still has a lot to offer in terms of dealing with proving God's existence (whichever God it may be), the problem of evil, determinism versus freewill, etc.
This was very informative for my philosophy of religion class last semester. However, there wasn't a lot of other religions, Hindu, Islam, etc.only the basic christian and atheist were the main focus of this book. I actually can see myself reading this book after the class ended and it makes a good light reading for those who are interested outside the class room. I'm not going to sell this book back to the bookstore, haha.
Book was in better condition than described. I appreciate that. This is a text for a class so I've just started the book. So far, so good. I've scanned through the book. I plan to keep it after the class.
Needed for class. Philosophy is hard to read at any level. This is a wonderful collection
Fast shipping. Great quality!!
