Worthwhile

Robinson's selection is a worthwhile look through some extremely diverse views on the existence and character of God, as well as selections of thoughts from various thinkers throughout the ages. Authors as diverse as Aquinas and Nietszche make the grade, as well as the less well known but equally thought provoking. If you're into philosophy, theology, or just want to have your thinking challenged, this is a worthwhile read.

Excellent

This is a useful anthology of writings on God. In 225 pages you get 23 contributors, so all the selections are of a reasonable length. The best part of the book is the nature of the contributors. Rather than just having philosophers, the editor selected writers not normally found in philosophy of religion anthologies such as Otto, Eliade, Freud, Camus and Buber.
