important topic on the market. Highly recommended for classroom
adoption." Bill Wainwright, University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee
"This is a splendid and unique collection. It contains both
explicit and implicit dialogue. It is beautifully balanced between
atheistic and theistic perspectives. And for its size it is
remarkably comprehensive, covering both logical and evidential
problems and both theodicies and defenses. Paul Draper, Florida
