Customer Reviews

Early delivery/book in great condition

I received the book earlier than expected and it the book was as good as new when it came. Great deal on the book too!

The Platonic form of phil religion books

William L. Rowe's book is the best introduction to philosophy of religion in the universe. It's comprehensive, the writing is clear, and Rowe is fair to both sides of an arguement. If you want a solid introduction to philosophy religion, look no further than this perfect little book; everything else is an inferior copy. Also recommended: The Gospel of Arnie

A boon to philosophy teachers

I would just like to join the chorus of praise offered by the other reviewers: Rowe's presentation of the standard topics in the philosophy of religion is remarkably clear. He manages to make the logical structure of these issues brilliantly explicit, even for philosophical novices. Anyone who has to teach these topics should consult Rowe's book as an aid to the preparation of lectures and hand-outs, even if they do not choose to use it as a course-text.

Excellent, balanced, and concise intro to phil. of religion

The first edition of Rowe's introductory text, PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION, was one of my textbooks as an undergraduate. Rowe's presentation of the issues is great for beginners. I was also impressed by the balance in his treatment. This was nowhere more evident than in his discussion of the problem of evil: although Rowe pioneered the influential 'evidential' form of the argument from evil for atheism, he carefully and fairly lays out the issues in the debate over that argument.I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in the phil. of religion.

The best introduction to philosophy of religion available

Rowe's presentation of each topic is clear, fair, and provoking. The book is thorough in its coverage yet concise and easy to complete. In spite of its higher than normal price, Rowe's introduction will be invaluable to both the new student and seasoned philosopher of religion.
