Reviews
Philosophers would do well to take seriously Leftows theory and arguments in both philosophy and theology. Forging an account that is unique while still being inclusive of some elements of historical forerunners, Leftows approach is analytically rigorous and historically aware. * Benjamin W. McCraw, Ratio * ...it provides a rigorous, rich, and detailed discussion of a problem that many (and not just analytic philosophers) will find puzzling. * Graham Oppy, Times Literary Supplement * This book should be read carefully and thoroughly. It contains an enormous number of challenging ideas and arguments, far more than I can mention in a short review. Defenders of deity theory and theistic defenders of an independent space of possibility will certainly have to engage the counterarguments presented in this book. * Michael Almeida, The Philosophical Quarterly *
