Editorial Reviews

Review

"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)

From the Back Cover

The last few decades have witnessed a stunning resurgence of philosophical interest in God and theology. Although much of this renaissance is focused on the rationality of theistic belief apart from evidence, there is a gathering movement in philosophical circles to re-establish natural theology's legitimacy in explaining God's existence.

The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology gathers together original contributions from a variety of leading philosophers to provide a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the nature and existence of God through the beauty and order of the natural world. Each of the in-depth essays draws upon a particular theistic argument—from Contingency and Consciousness to Reason and Religious Experience—with the distinguished authors providing analysis and evaluation of each argument, offering original insights and new perspectives on perennial questions.

The result is an engaging and deeply profound examination of theological thinking that reconciles belief in God with human reason and evidence from the natural world.

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!!
