Reviews
This is the book I had hoped they would write after Good God. Their previous book was mostly constructing their own theory, but God and Cosmos engages in significant detail with much of the best recent work in non-theist ethical theory. It is characteristically punchy in style, but at the end movingly eloquent in defense of a theist foundation for the authority of morality. The section on moral knowledge is especially fine, and takes the subject forward in an interesting way. --John E. Hare, Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology, Yale Divinity School
Baggett and Walls provide a veritable history of ethical philosophy as they develop and support their thesis. The number of scholars cited-ancient, enlightenment, and modern-is impressive --CHOICE This is the book I had hoped they would write after Good God.
