Description
What is the philosophy of religion, and how can it be distinguished from theology and from the psychology or sociology of religious belief? In this Very Short Introduction, Tim Bayne introduces the field and engages with questions about the definition of religion, the existence of God, the meaning of describing God as eternal, and whether religious belief requires good arguments or is authentic only in their absence. He explores the problem of evil, the relationship between faith and reason, the role of reason in religious contexts, and the connection between science and religion, before considering reincarnation and the afterlife. The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press covers hundreds of subjects. Its pocket-sized books combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas and enthusiasm to make challenging topics highly readable.
