Editorial Reviews

Review

"They give a good look into the condition of the field, and bring to the forefront presuppositions shaping contemporary inquiry." (Reviews in Religion & Theology, 2011)

"If natural theology is overdue for a comeback, this work will help it on its way, and, for skeptical readers, there is much here to go on thinking about for months to come (making it a good catalyst for intelligent debate)." (Reference Reviews, February 2010)

"All of these essays show sophistication and deserve wide attention. Common objections to the theistic arguments are considered and logical proofs are helpfully provided when appropriate." (Religious Studies Review, June 2010)

"Laudable and timely." (Church Times, January 2010)

Review

"The Companion contains papers on a rich diversity of topics that are representative of the new natural theology that emerged in the 1970s with books by Alvin Plantinga, William Craig and others. The rapidly evolving lines of thought are increasingly influential in the field of philosophy and the essays in this collection are "cutting edge" works, such as the very recent formulation of a new version of the ontological argument for God's existence by Robert Maydole. The high quality of the essays make this book required reading for philosophers of religion and its diverse topics will interest thinkers in many fields."
–Quentin Smith, Western Michigan University

"This collection is a major contribution to the intellectual discussion of classical theism. Its philosophically sophisticated essays provide essential background reading for all those engaged in serious debate about the rationality of belief in God today."
–John F. Haught, Georgetown University

"I used to think natural theology was a dead area and not worthy of mourning. The scholarship represented by this volume has convinced me I was wrong. The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology aptly demonstrates why natural theology has become an exciting scholarly area again. These essays combine cutting-edge philosophy with recent scientific advancements to provide a thorough, timely resource balancing confidence and humility, rigour and readability."
–Justin L. Barrett, University of Oxford

Perhaps the most exhaustive, detailed, and compelling OFFENSE for Theism that I have yet to come across.

A Defense of Theism at the Scholarly Level

June 4, 2009

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book features some of the top theistic philosophers of religion in the world delivering a defense of the existence of God. This book is extremely thorough, answering every possible objection along the way.

Be warned, this book assumes you have an understanding of the vocabulary and methodology of analytic philosophy. The ontological argument assumes that you, the reader, understand propositional calculus. This book is not for the layman.

Inexcusable typographical errors

September 21, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have never seen a book published by a reputable company that has so many typographical errors. Perhaps a hundred errors in that many pages! I don't believe that any proofreading was done at all. Inexcusable!

Incredible Resource!

July 10, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I have to say that this is without a doubt the most difficult book I own! But that is a good thing. I plan on getting an MA in Philosophy as well go on to doctoral work in philosophy as well. This book will greatly aid me in my long term goals. Not for the laymen, as the articles are written by analytic philosophers for analytic philosophers. The format of the book is great, as each author was given several pages (around 100 pages or so, give or take, for each argument!). It is easier when one treats each essay as if it were a book in its own right, carefully working through the material. Just as a heads up, the essay on the ontological argument assumes that you know propositional calculus! For those having a deep interest in apologetics as well as philosophy of religion, this book is a must have...but not for the faint of heart!!
