Inhaltsangabe:

This work provides an introduction to the philosophy of religion, and is written for those with no previous knowledge of philosophy. It explains the nature of philosophical inquiry and shows how the demand for a philosophical examination of religion arose out of particular historical situations. It discusses traditional philosophical questions about the existence of God, miracles, the truth of the Bible, science and religion, and religion and ethics. The argument of the book suggests that the attempt to find historical and scientific proof for religious beliefs is bound to fail, as is the attempt to disprove religion by scientific and historical evidence. On the view advanced here, religion is best understood as a way of life and as not being in competition with science at all.
