PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION Reading Philosophy of Religion Edited by Graham Oppy & Michael Scott Monash University, Australia; University of Manchester, UK “This is a brilliant set of readings with unique and student-friendly commentaries that makes it an ideal, vibrant resource for the study and practice of philosophy of religion today.” Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College Reading Philosophy of Religion offers a diverse collection of carefully chosen classical and contemporary texts in philosophy of religion accompanied by detailed and insightful commentaries as well as questions to stimulate further study. The readings reflect central topics of study: religious language; the existence of God; reason, argument and belief in God; divine properties; and religious pluralism. The 22 excerpts span the philosophical spectrum and include such thinkers as Alston, Anselm, Aquinas, Ayer, Berkeley, Boethius, Clifford, Hume, Paley, Pascal, Plantinga, Putnam and Rowe. This is the ideal choice for an introductory textbook in philosophy of religion courses, or for any individual curious about the philosophical study of the nature of religion.

Lowe Western Michigan University, USA; Bloomsburg University, USA Some wise men, a stable, a few sheep, and a young virgin giving birth to the mortal son of a prefect God: Christma’s is one of Christianity’s holiest days, and yet it is also a major pagan festival, a secular, cultural celebration, and a commercial event of epic proportions. As consumerism runs rife, have we lost sight of its very essence? From elves and Ebenezer Scrooge, to the culture wars and virgin birth, Christmas - Philosophy for Everyone unwraps the religious and moral issues surrounding the Yuletide season, including: • Should parents lie to their children about Santa Claus? • What relevance does Christmas hold to atheists and pagans? • What does the Bible actually say about the virgin birth? • How does Santa know if we have been naughty or good; is there a darker side to our festive friend?

The Secular Outlook In Defense of Moral and Political Secularism Paul Cliteur University of Leiden, The Netherlands “This is a brave and timely book, a light in the gathering endarkenment. Cliteur responds lucidly to the West’s many failures of political nerve, to the new climate of rationalizing the irrational and appeasing authoritarians. He advances a powerful case for the values of freedom and reason.” Russell Blackford The Secular Outlook: In Defense of Moral and Political Secularism shows how people can live together and overcome the challenge of religious terrorism by adopting a secular outlook on life and politics. • Shows how secularism can answer the problem of religious terrorism • Provides new perspectives on how religious minorities can be integrated into liberal democracies • Reveals how secularism has gained a new political and moral significance. • Also examines such topics as atheism, religious criticism and free speech Series: Blackwell Public Philosophy 328 pages • July 2010 978-1-4443-3520-0 • HB • £60.00 / €77.90 / US$94.95 / AUD$120.00 978-1-4443-3521-7 • PB • £19.99 / €25.90 / US$29.95 / AUD$39.95 Meaning and Mystery What It Means To Believe in God David M. Holley University of Southern Mississippi, USA Philosophers typically assume that the appropriate way to reflect on God’s existence is to consider whether God is needed as a hypothesis to explain generally accepted facts. In contrast, David Holley proposes that the question of belief should be raised within the practical context of deciding on a narrative that enables us to interpret the significance of our experiences and functions as a guide to how to live. Holley uses insights from sociology and cognitive psychology to illuminate the nature of religious beliefs. 256 pages • January 2010 978-1-4051-9345-0 • HB • £50.00 / €65.90 / US$84.95 / AUD$99.95 978-1-4051-9344-3 • PB • £17.99 / €23.90 / US$29.95 / AUD$37.95 Is God A Delusion? A Reply to Religion’s Cultured Despisers Eric Reitan, Oklahoma State University, USA Winner of Choice 2009 Outstanding Academic Title Award Is God a Delusion? addresses the philosophical underpinnings of the recent proliferation of popular books attacking religious beliefs. • Focuses primarily on charges leveled by recent critics that belief in God is irrational and that its nature ferments violence • Balances philosophical rigor and scholarly care with an engaging, accessible style • Offers a direct response to the crop of recent anti-religion bestsellers currently generating considerable public discussion 256 pages • 2008 978-1-4051-8362-8 • HB • £55.00 / €71.90 / US$94.95 / AUD$110.00 978-1-4051-8361-1 • PB • £14.99 / €19.90 / US$26.95 / AUD$29.95 In the Name of God The Evolutionary Origins of Religious Ethics and Violence John Teehan, Hofstra University, USA “… a wonderful example of how to build successfully conceptual bridges across different disciplines...” Todd K. Shackelford, Florida Atlantic University Religion is one of the most powerful forces running through human history, and although often presented as a force for good, its impact is frequently violent and divisive. This provocative work brings together cutting-edge research from both evolutionary and cognitive psychology to help readers understand the psychological structure of religious morality and the origins of religious violence.
