What can we know about God?

For centuries philosophers have argued about the existence and nature of God. Do we need God to explain the origins of the universe? Can there be morality without a divine source of goodness? How can God exist when there is so much evil and suffering in the world?

All these questions and many more are brought to life with clarity and style in Roy Jackson's The God of Philosophy. The arguments for and against God's existence are weighed up, along with discussions of the meaning of language, the concept of God and the possibility of life after death.

Challenging, exciting and always fair, The God of Philosophy is a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of religion.

Author Roy Jackson is a lecturer in philosophy and religious studies at Richmond-upon-Thames College, London. He is the author of Plato: A Beginner's Guide and Nietzsche: A Beginner's Guide.
