In this engaging introductory dialogue, Todd Moody maps the
spectrum of philosophical arguments and counterarguments for the
existence of God. Structuring colloquial conversations along
classical lines, he presents a lively and accessible discussion of
issues that are central to both theist and atheist thinking,
including the burden of proof, the first cause, a necessary being,
the natural order, suffering, miracles, experience as knowledge,
and rationality without proof. The second edition is a significant
and comprehensive revision. Moody broadens and deepens the
conversation by addressing additional arguments, such as the
problem of animal suffering, the moral argument, intelligent
design, and human exceptionalism. The discussion of the
cosmological argument is updated to reflect recent work on the
Kalam Cosmological Argument. A short preface explains the scope of
the work and the purpose of the dialogue form. Suggested further
readings of contemporary and classical sources are also included.
