Table of Contents"1: The Problem of Natural Theology 2: The Concept of a Natural Sign 3: Cosmic Wonder and Cosmological Arguments for God 4: Beneficial Order and Teleological Arguments for God 5: Moral Arguments and Natural Signs for God 6: Conclusions: Can We Rely on Natural Signs for a ""Hidden "" God?"ReviewsEvans' book is a characteristic combination of careful attention to neglected historical ideas and insightful analysis of a broad range of contemporary issues ... Natural Signs and Knowledge of God has much to offer philosophers and theologians, but the most significant contribution of Evans' book may well be to motivate and otherwise support broadly theistic research programs in the human sciences. * Todd Buras, Books and Culture * This is an impressive book. It is rigorously argued but not written in dense or technical language. As well as philosophers, it should appeal to anyone with a serious interest in Christian apologetics. * Church of England Newspaper * a very good book... Evans has placed philosophers and theologians further in his debt with this book... I look forward to having an opportunity to read it again. * Graham Gould, Journal of Theological Studies * This is a richand rewarding book that reaffirms the rationality of belief in God, while opening up a subtly different approach to theistic apologetics that could well be of considerable value. * Alister McGrath, Theology * There are many reasons to recommend C. Stephen Evans' new book... It is accessible and open in its style, and deals skilfully with what I consider to be the most important subject we can study: our ability to know God... The book can be read with profit by a wide audience, from undergraduate and graduate students to the interested general public... an engaging and stimulating work * Owen Anderson, Conversations in Religion and Theology * lucidly written and carefully argued * John Cottingham, Times Literary Supplement * Evans has here made a valuable and original contribution to the field of religious epistemology. Natural Signs and Knowledge of God deserves attention from, and is sure to provoke lively debate between, philosophers of religion and theologians. However, it should also be of interest to, and accessible to, anyone concerned with theistic apologetics. Even someone with little grounding in these issues is likely to gain something from it. * Sarah Adams, Religious Studies * There are many reasons to recommend C. Stephen Evans' new book... It is accessible and open in its style, and deals skillfully with what I consider to be the most important subject we can study: our ability to know God... The book can be read with proft by a wide audience, from undergraduate and graduate students to the interested general public... an engaging and stimulating work Owen Anderson, Conversations in Religion and Theology Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
