The book makes a strong case for belief in God based on various factors, including arguments about fine-tuning, Kalam, and near-death experiences, and explores how science connects to God's existence. It also includes material on traditional topics of philosophy of religion and other related topics of interest, and is written by a Christian author whose defense of belief in God works with other theistic traditions as well. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 178 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 June 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReasoning about God is an introductory guide to the philosophy of religion, designed to meet college students where they are with their own doubts and questions. Each chapter begins with a fictional student's passage, raising intellectual challenges against God, which is then followed by the author's informed and accessible analysis. This debate-style structure allows student readers to clearly see the clash of ideas, engages them in the issues, and encourages their critical thinking. It emulates the successful structure the author followed in his Ethics: A Contemporary Introduction, now in its third edition and translated into five languages. This structure works exceptionally well in the philosophy of religion, even more so than in ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features of Reasoning about God:\u003cbr\u003e1.
