Faith and Reason: The Philosophy of Religion

by Peter Kreeft Narrated by Peter Kreeft

Overview

Through the ages, mankind has pursued questions of faith in something beyond the world of ordinary experience. Is there a God? How can we explain the presence of evil? Do humans, or human souls, live on after death? Is there a hell? The following lectures examine these eternal questions and present the most compelling arguments for and against God's existence, the seeming conflicts between religion and science, and the different truth-claims of the world's most popular religions. By delving into the major characteristics of world religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, mankind's association with the many different varieties of religious practice is brought to light. Above all, Faith and Reason: The Philosophy of Religion lays the groundwork for a rational approach to pursuing questions of faith-and at the same time provides a better understanding of religion's ongoing importance in the realm of human experience.

Editorial Reviews

DEC 05/JAN 06 - AudioFile

In the philosophy of religion, religious ideas are examined under the light of logical reason. Professor Kreft presents his material as if he is saying, in effect: "Let us go over things in a calm, thorough, rational manner." He communicates this through his vocal approach. His voice is calm, his volume soft, his cadence measured. It is as if he were ruminating before a small group. He covers the central tenets shared by religions--the existence of God, the problem of evil, atheism, agnosticism, science, among others. His comments cover the major religions of the world without apparent favoritism or bias. This audio presentation is exactly what it purports to be, a learning experience par excellence.
