New. 0715628674. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** – – *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED-180 pages; 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches--This polemical book argues that philosophy's silencing of religion as irrational thinking is wrong and that only religion can offer cogent answers when it comes to understanding life--We live, allegedly, in a postmodern age in which we have cast aside the narrative fantasies of the pre-modern era. If postmodernism represents the final abandonment of all grand theories, where does religion stand? If religion is a particularly unbelievable form of explanation, why does it power still affect social and political change? Here, like the skeptics of our age, the author asks, What has theology ever had to say that was of the slightest use to anyone? He argues that religion without God is like a car without an engine, and draws on many aspects of human culture to offer a defense of religion that is not only credible but necessary in an age when postmodernism itself has been exposed as a cruel illusion. --AUTHOR: John Haldane is Professor of Philosophy, Head of the School of Philosophical and Anthropological Studies at the University of St. Andrews, and Fellow of the royal Society of Arts. He is an editor of the International Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Routledge). --REVIEWS: "John Haldane has produced a splendid introduction to religious thought and belief. Lucid, compelling, unafraid to confront serious intellectual challenge, and shot through with insight and illuminating detail, this is a book that will enlighten believers and unbelievers alike."--Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth * "It is a great treat....As one of the world's preeminent philosophers, John Haldane brings a careful and rigorous intelligence to bear on the question of whether religious faith is reasonable. The reader will find the objections to religious faith succinctly, and clearly presented and considered. Haldane's witty and precise analysis leads inexorably to the understanding that religious faith is the preeminently reasonable position for the modern person to take."---William L. Saunders, Center for Human Life and Bioethics, Family Research Council * "Atheists who want to know what it is they are denying and theists who wonder who they are not atheists could not do better than read John Haldane's 'Guide to Religion'. It is a splendid statement of fundamental issues: crisp, lucid and an invitation to argument."--Alasdair MacIntyre, University of Notre Dame--with a bonus offer--
