• 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• Updates criticism of theology by dealing with the latest terms of the God debates instead of outdated caricatures of religion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
