This work provides an introduction to philosophical thinking about
central aspects of religion. With the beginning student in mind,
Stuart Brown guides the reader through three main topics: whether
or not there is life after death; whether or not there is a
powerful, beneficent intelligence of God controlling the universe;
and the nature and appropriate defence of religious belief or
faith. A concise discussion of classical arguments in the
philosophy of religion is combined with an emphasis on the
implications of contemporary science (especially Darwinism) and
philosophy of mind. By the end of the book, students should be able
to: recognize interconnections between theories of the mind and
beliefs about mortality and immortality; be able to assess some of
the implications of Darwinism for religious belief; and critically
discuss some of the writings by key commentators on religious
belief, such as Richard Dawkins and David Hume.
