Peter S. Williams has provided an accessible Christian introduction to what can be an intimidating subject.
In four parts he walks the reader along the most frequently trodden paths of philosophical discussion. In part one he outlines the relationship between philosophy and faith, and traces the components of good and bad arguments. In part two he presents five common arguments for God – cosmological, teleological, moral, ontological, and arguments from religious experience. In part three he addresses some of the thornier issues around consciousness and liberty. In the final part, Williams addresses aesthetics, science, and the problem of evil.
