It gives purpose and meaning and helps people to ground their ethics in this foundation. One can realize the uncertainty of Gods existence and yet derive benefit from choosing belief. -- Terry Maksymowych * Catholic Library World * A readable little book on philosophical arguments for and against God. The tone is much more temperate than that of some recent atheistic writers. It sets out a clear definition of God, and examines most of the main arguments for and against God. It is by a good philosopher, and sets out very clearly the sorts of arguments you will hear in the analytical philosophical tradition of most British universities. If you want to know and think about those arguments, this is a good book to help you to do so ... Readers will find here a very good example of clear, considered thought. -- Canon Keith Ward, Emeritus Regius Professor of Divinity, Oxford University * Church Times * Mentioned in The Blade -- TK Barger * The Blade *
