I really enjoyed Mawson's book. I think is well written and organized, with clear explanations (most of it). The examples from the book; although some of them far-fetched; are very illustrative and funny, which in my view, contributes to the learning process.

On the down side, I would suggest to incorporate the Argument from Moral Experience and to develop a new approach to the evil problem, which I found not as clear as other parts of the book,

This book is actually very interesting, Mawson sets out different views on God's existence and being. I thought this book was a beginners book because I bought it for a course, it is a bit hard to understand and I think there might be simpler beginner books on the topic. It is a good read all around, it will take a few rereads to fully understand what is being said for those who are totally knew to philosophy.
