8vo - 23 x 15.5 cm.; viii - 212 pp. Part of the series, Reason & Religion. Part One provides a general discussion of the relation between faith and reason, the claims of natural theology and the pursuit of the vision of God, seeking to contextualize the debate and to engage with contemporary philosophical discussion. Part Two contains five case studies that illustrate the work of seminal figures in the tradition - treatments of Augustine on time and creation, Anselm on the ontological argument and the necessity of the atonement, Jonathan Edwards on the nature of personal identity, and John Calvin and the sensus divinitatis, focusing on the way in which Calvin has been appealed to by contemporary Reformed epistemology. Helm is professor of the history and philosophy of religion at King's College, London. A new and unread / unused book.
