Synopsis

The God Debates presents a comprehensive, non-technical survey of the quest for knowledge of God, allowing readers to participate in a debate about the existence of God and gain understanding and appreciation of religion?s conceptual foundations. * Explains key arguments for and against God's existence in clear ways for readers at all levels * Brings theological debates up to the present with current ideas from modernism, postmodernism, fideism, evidentialism, presuppositionalism, and mysticism * Updates criticism of theology by dealing with the latest terms of the God debates instead of outdated caricatures of religion * Helps nonbelievers to learn important theological standpoints while noting their shortcomings * Encourages believers and nonbelievers to enjoy informed dialogue with each other * Concludes with an overview of religious and nonreligious worldviews and predictions about the future of faith and reason
