Is There a God? offers a powerful response to modern doubts about the existence of God. It may seem today that the answers to all fundamental questions lie in the province of science, and that the scientific advances of the twentieth century leave little room for God. Cosmologists have rolled back their theories to the moment of the Big Bang, the discovery of DNA reveals the key to life, the theory of evolution explains the development of life...and with each new discovery or development, it seems that we are closer to a complete understanding of how things are. For many people, this gives strength to the belief that God is not needed to explain the universe; that religious belief is not based on reason; and that the existence of God is, intellectually, a lost cause. Richard Swinburne, one of the most distinguished philosophers of religion of our day, argues that on the contrary, science provides good grounds for belief in God. Why is there a universe at all ? Why is there any life on Earth? How is it that discoverable scientific laws operate in the universe?Professor Swinburne uses the methods of scientific reasoning to argue that the best answers to these questions are given by the existence of God. The picture of the universe that science gives us is completed by God. This new, updated edition of Richard Swinburne's popular introductory book Is There a God? features two substantial changes. He presents a new, stronger argument why theism does and materialism does not provide a very simple ultimate explanation of the world. And he examines the idea of the possible existence of many other universes, and its relevance to his arguments from the fine-tuning of our universe to the existence of God.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is a title that many of our readers may not normally come across as it is more at home in the ethereal world of philosophy rather than most Christian bookshops. Richard Swinburne is considered by many to be one of the foremost philosophers of our time and sits as emeritus Nolloth Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at Oxford University. This book is a revised edition of his 1996 book which is a condensed version of some of his 1979/2004 opus magnum The Existence of God and is aimed at making the philosophical angle on theology more accessible to more readers unfamiliar with philosophy. Does it work? Is There A God? is a challenging read and for many may be turgid and/or hard to follow but for the determined this is a good study to promote the logical arguments that can underpin the less forensic, but more common, reasons for faith.
