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.

Summary

A modern take on this age-old branch of philosophy.

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.
