The Best Anthology On Its Subject,
This review is from: Arguing About Religion (Arguing About Philosophy) (Paperback)
An excellent and affordable collection. This book would make an ideal introduction to the subject for a undergraduate course or the educated layperson. Strongly recommended!

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not much of an argument,
By Hande Z (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arguing About Religion (Arguing About Philosophy) (Paperback)
This book has a collection of fascinating essays, but its title is a little inappropriate. This is a book edited by a Christian and the majority of the contributors are Christians. It is more apt if it were titled "Arguing For Religion". This book is in the same vein as the 1999 Blackwell publication, "Philosophy of Religion: The Big Questions", edited by Eleonore Stump. The representations for the other side of the argument is poorly represented, not because the names were not big - Dawkins and Dennett each has a slice against at least two for Plantinga, Swinburne, Stump, and Kretzmann. The essays are noteworthy but the book is misleading. For a balance reading of this subject I would recommend the reader to read Mel Thompson's "Understand The Philosophy of Religion" as well. I gave the book two stars because it is extremely lopsided and the some essays were rationally flawed in that the existence of God was implied in the process of arguing for his existence.
