Is There a God?

“Kenneth Pearce and Graham Oppy are first-rate philosophers of religion. This book offers an engaging and fruitful dialogue between a theist and an atheist, addressing all key concepts and arguments in the contemporary debate on the existence of God. I recommend the book to all readers who are interested in studying both sides of the debate.”Yujin Nagasawa, H. G. Wood Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham, U.K.

“This exchange between Oppy and Pearce represents the finest in philosophical inquiry. Together they create a new chandelier with structure and detail as they systematically discuss questions of worldview along the cutting edge of philosophical inquiry. Their exchange is professional, productive, and elegant.”Joshua Rasmussen, Department of Philosophy, Azusa Pacific University, U.S.A.
