"""Does modern science render Christian theism implausible? If not, do the truth claims of other religions effect the same result? Professor Lehe argues clearly and compellingly for negative answers to both questions. He also shows how the two are related to one another. Of particular merit is his examination of how Buddhist interpretations of cosmological fine tuning compare unfavorably to those from Christian philosophical traditions. Highly recommended for both professional philosophers and general readers."" --Olin Joynton, Alpena Community College, Alpena, Michigan ""This terrific book provides a definitive guide for current debates about science and religion and religious pluralism. Lehe's arguments are admirably rigorous and fair-minded. With a prose that is both lucid and accessible, this book makes a substantial contribution to two of the most significant and controversial issues in contemporary philosophy of religion. God, Science, and Religious Diversity is essential reading for any philosopher interested in these critical issues."" --James Peters, The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee ""A model of clear reasoning and careful argument, this book explores the challenges to Christian theism posed by atheistic naturalism and religious pluralism. Turning the anti-Christian argument on its head, Lehe argues persuasively that Christianity offers a more satisfying account of why we are able to understand the world scientifically than either naturalism or other religious traditions. If something like Christianity is not true, our ability to do natural science remains an unsolvable mystery."" --Daniel Kolb, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, Meinrad, Indiana"
