Summary

This book provides a detailed, updated exposition and defense of five of the historically most important (but in recent years largely neglected) philosophical proofs of God’s existence: the Aristotelian, the Neo-Platonic, the Augustinian, the Thomistic, and the Rationalist. It also offers a thorough treatment of each of the key divine attributes–unity, simplicity, eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, and so forth–showing that they must be possessed by the God whose existence …

What They're Saying

Critics Review

A watershed book. Feser has completely severed the intellectual legs upon which modern atheism had hoped to stand. – Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary

A powerful and important book. The concluding chapter, where Feser replies to possible objections to his arguments, is a gem; it alone is worth the price of this excellent work. – Stephen T. Davis, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College

Edward Feser is widely recognized as a top scholar in the history of philosophy in general, and in Thomistic and Aristotelian philosophy in particular. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in natural theology. I happily and highly recommend it. – J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University

Refutes with devastating effect the standard objections to theistic proofs, from David Hume to the New Atheists. – Robert C. Koons, Professor of Philosophy, University of Texas at Austin

Yet another fine book by Edward Feser. He replies to (literally) all of the objections and shows convincingly how the most popular objections (the kind one hears in Introduction to Philosophy courses) are very often completely beside the point and, even when they’re not, are ‘staggeringly feeble and overrated’. – Alfred J. Freddoso, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame
