Arguments for or against God's existence can be intense, complex,
and disconcerting; in fact, they often raise more questions than
they answer. In Letters to Doubting Thomas: A Case for the
Existence of God, C. Stephen Layman offers an innovative approach
to the debate--a way to organize a seeming multitude of related
claims and ideas--bringing clarity to a discussion that is often
mired in confusion.
Letters to Doubting Thomas explores the evidence for the existence
of God through an exchange of fictionalized letters between two
characters--Zachary, a philosopher (and believer), and Thomas, a
layperson (and doubter) who appeals to Zachary for help in sorting
out his own thoughts about God. Point by point, Zachary leads
Thomas through a highly readable comparison of Naturalism (the
belief that there is no God and that ultimate reality is physical
reality) and Theism (the idea that there is an almighty, perfectly
good God). Incorporating recent developments in philosophy, each
exchange of letters addresses one complex philosophical issue,
breaking it down into manageable units. Topics covered include free
will, religious experience, the cosmological argument, the
fine-tuning design argument, the problem of evil, divine
foreknowledge and human freedom, the ontological argument, the
divine command theory of ethics, and a moral argument for God's
existence. As the dialogue proceeds, Zachary develops a cogent,
cumulative case for Theism over Naturalism, while Thomas raises
critical questions all along the way.
Featuring a unique format and lucid writing style, Letters to
Doubting Thomas is ideal for courses in the philosophy of religion
and accessible to students with little or nobackground in
philosophy. It is also engaging reading for professors,
theologians, and anyone interested in the question of the existence
of God.
