5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY WELL BALANCED ANTHOLOGY, September 26, 1998
By A Customer
Pojman covers all the essential arguments from both theist and atheists. He covers the traditional arguments in great detail, the argument from religious experience, the problem of evil, the attributes of God, miracles and revelation, death and immorality, faith and reason, and religion and ethics. Essays are used from all the great minds in the history of philosophy - Aquinas, Anselm, Augustine, Plato, Hume, Kant, Plantinga, Leibniz, Hick, Swineburne, Mackie, Russell, Flew, Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard, Pascal, etc. If you are a serious student of the Philosophy of Religion then you should NOT be without this volume. It would be a great addition to anyones philosophical collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection, December 14, 2003
By A Customer
I am an undergraduate, and I have to say, a found this to be an excellent collection of essays. It covers theism and atheism, and the breadth of philosophers it covers is almost overwhelming. It has works from Plato, Kierkegaard and more recent philosophers such as Mackie.
I did think that Pojman's comments and essays were well done and very useful, both for study and otherwise. From a student who is genuinely concerned with the question of religeon, I would like to thank Pojman for this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Comparative in the Religious sense, but Philosophical, September 9, 2005
Most people think that at first it is a book comparing various Religions philosophies, this is a misconception. It is a book which discusses the reasons for belief, or disbelief, of various aspects of Religious Thought. Such subjects include: the existence of the big G, the immortality of the human soul, the problem of evil, cosmological arguments, and other various point-counterpoints. To tell you the truth, whether you are a believer or disbeliever a person should be aware of these arguments by reason so they may be more clear as to what they really believe. If you have a class with this book I reccomend looking more into the text than the teacher even assigns, this is one that I myself will keep.

This IS a wonderful anthology...but for the amount of money you would pay for it in hardbound edition, it would probably be a better investment to find another anthology or locate... Read more
