As one of the most readable works of its kind, Reason and Religious Belief: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion is now in its third edition. The authors explore some enduring questions in the philosophy of religion. Starting from classical and contemporary discussions, they examine religious experience, faith and reason, theistic arguments, the problem of evil, Reformed epistemology, miracles, and religious language. They also address topics less commonly included in popular textbooks, such as process theism, religious pluralism, the relationship between religion and science, and the connection between religion and morality.
