Taking God Seriously by Brian Davies
An interaction on the nature and plausibility of belief in God and Christianity, between a leading Thomist and a leading Darwin scholar. Topics include the nature of faith, the place of reason in discussions about religion, proofs for the existence of God, problem of evil, and the intelligibility of key Christian notions including the Trinity.
'It is hardly a surprise to find that the final chapter, where the two authors at last respond to each other's views, leaves them as far apart as everRuse reiterates his exasperation with Christian belief, while Davies carefully elu-cidates and defends some key Christian doctrines, such as the Incarnation, that Ruse has attacked as incoherent. But what emerges from both philosophers is a mutual respect and sincerity of commitment that makes this book a more edifying read than is often found in confrontations between defenders and opponents of religious belief.' John Cottingham, The Tablet
