Summary

 Isaac Asimov said that "whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse." Such quandaries are the bread and butter of philosophy of religion. Questioning why evil exists, whether God could create a stone he couldn’t lift, and if the wonder of life suggests a Creator, this fascinating branch of philosophy is concerned with arguments for and against religion, and what form an immortal god (or gods) would take if in existence. Charles Taliaferro provides a clear exploration of the discipline, introducing a wide range of philosophers and covering the topics of morality and religion, evil, the afterlife, prayer, and miracles.©2009 Charles Taliaferro (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Religious Studies Spirituality

Editor reviews

This audiobook introduces listeners to the broad field of philosophy of religion. Narrator Deidre Rubenstein's warm, truly beautiful voice adds a calm serenity to the listening experience. Although this is an introduction to the subject, it is an 18-hour one - there's no shortage of fascinating subject material. Charles Taliaferro expertly moves from a grounding of basic religious subjects - heaven, hell, good, evil, god, miracles, and prayer - to give listeners a sense of the range of relevant philosophers and their interests. This generous audio is a great jumping-off point for those with questions about religion, its origin, and application.

"Charles Taliaferro is internationally recognized as a philosopher at the very top of his field. Philosophy of Religion: A Beginner’s Guide does not disappoint. Brimming with arguments, the material is cutting edge, and the selection of topics is superb." (J.P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University, California)
"A lucid and engaging philosophical survey. He covers all the most important issues in a way that is always fair-minded, and manages to be accessible without over-simplifying." (John Cottingham, President of the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Reading University)
