The question of whether faith in God is reasonable is of renewed
interest in today's academy. In light of this interest, as well as
the rise of militant religion and terrorism and the emergent
reaction by neo-atheism, this volume considers this important
question from the views of contemporary scientists, philosophers,
and in a more novel fashion, of rhetoricians. It is comprised of a
public debate between William Lane Craig, supporting the position
that faith in God is reasonable and Alex Rosenberg, arguing against
that position. Scholars in the aforementioned fields then respond
to the debate, representing both theistic and atheistic positions.
The book concludes with rejoinders from Craig and Rosenberg.
