Summary

This short, provocative work by one of philosophy's foremost teachers is intended to offer a distinctive approach to central issues in the philosophy of religion. The intent of the book is not to attain comprehensive coverage of the field or to grapple with its most current technical literature. Rather, through the consideration of unusual examples and the use of illustrative materials drawn from unexpected sources, Cahn provides an accessible and gripping exploration of fundamental matters in the philosophy of religion--matters often obscured in more orthodox treatments of the subject.
