Paul Franks, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Tyndale University, Canada * What axiological value, if any, does the existence of God have? This volume presents lively philosophical dialogues that directly tackle this neglected question and Lougheed brings together a group of outstanding scholars who represent diverse perspectives. This important book will launch a new phase of the scholarly debate on the existence of God. * Yujin Nagasawa, H. G. Wood Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham, UK * The four papers in this volume are by outstanding scholars, and they address an important but underexplored topic: the axiology of theism. Each paper breaks new ground. Readers will find the commentaries by each author on the others' work, together with replies, particularly valuable. * Klaas J. Kraay, Professor of Philosophy, Ryerson University, Canada *
