In this book, I discuss the question whether God exists, not as a
Tillichian religious symbol, but as an actual person, albeit a
person who is very different from you and me. My procedure is to
examine arguments bdth for and against God's existence qua person
and to assess their relative merits. I shall try to show that there
is more evidence that God exists than that he does not. This
position is, of course, rejected nowadays, even by most religious
thinkers, who hold, for one reason or another, that evidence has
nothing to do with religious belief, properly understood. My reply
to these thinkers is simply to ask them to examine what follows. A
useful companion to Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, and the Appendix of this
book would be Alvin Plantinga's The Nature of Necessity.l Though I
avoid technical terminology wherever possible, those chapters
presuppose an elementary understanding of 'possible worlds'
discourse; and a clear and concise explanation of that terminology
can be found in Chapter IV of Plantinga's book. Also, I use
'logical' throughout to mean what Plantinga means by 'broadly
logical' on page 2 of The Nature of Necessity.
