Produktbeschreibung

For courses in Philosophy of Religion. Using various and competing religious sensibilities, Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion helps students work through the traditional material and their own religious questions. This text can be used alone or in conjunction with Kellenberger's Introduction to Philosophy of Religion: An Anthology. James Kellenberger wrote Introduction to Philosophy of Religion in order to make students aware of the relevance of the issues discussed to religion. One reviewer commented that when he was finished with the class discussion of the arguments for the existence of God, his classes would ask about the significance of the arguments for the existence of God. This text has a chapter that explores that question, Chap 3 ¿Religious Faith and Proving God¿s Existence. Chapter 3 follows the chapter in which the logical strength of the traditional arguments for God¿s existence is discussed. Throughout the text the issues discussed are related to religious reactions to the issues under discussion.
