Philosophy of Religion: An Introduction

Rating:
Summary: A boon to philosophy teachers
Review: 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.

Summary: Good Introduction
Review: This book is pretty useful in introducing the subject of Philosophy of Religion as separate to Theology or Religion itself. It covers most of the major problems pertaining religion. For a neophite in these like myself, it gave me quite a broad understanding of the major issues concerning the philosophy of religion. It also contains a list of books to review the subject in more depth. I like the last chapters, the first chapters are different proofs of the existence of God, and they may become somewhat tedious.

Summary: The Platonic form of phil religion books
Review: 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.
