Description and Table of Contents
Description
Keith Yandell's Philosophy of Religion: A Contemporary Introduction was one of the first textbooks to explore the philosophy of religion with reference to religions other than Christianity. This new, revised edition explores the logical validity and truth claims of several world religions-Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism-with updated, streamlined discussions on important topics in philosophy of religion such as:
Religious pluralism
Freedom and responsibility
Evidentialist Moral Theism
Reformed Epistemology
Doxastic Practice Epistemology
The problem of evil
Ontological and cosmological arguments
Other new features include updated Questions for Reflection,and new Annotated Bibliographies for each chapter, as well as an updated Glossary. This exciting new edition, much like its classic predecessor, is sure to be a classroom staple for undergraduate students studying philosophy of religion, as well as a comprehensive introductory read for anyone interested in the subject.
