| Résumé : |
An exercise in the philosophy of religion, this second volume In the IFACS series is concerned with theism in general and Christianity - as one kind of theism - in particular. The basic question in the philosophy of religion, writes Keith Yandell, is whether religious claims can be rationally assessed and. If so, how, Yandell argues that they can be -that, In other words, theism is either true, or It is false. He argues further that there is reason to think theism Is true.
Addressing his argument to readers with some background in philosophy, Yandell considers such questions as these: Do the traditional arguments show that God exists? Do religious claims have truth value? Is the existence of evil evidence against the existence of God? How are religion and morality related? Finally, Yandell offers a set of principles to test the validity of both religious and nonreligious conceptual systems, and he concludes that Christianitv nasses all of the tests suaaested bv these principles. |
