The Puzzle of God

By Peter Vardy

Book Overview

A fresh, lively, and savvy survey of humanity's eternal query: Who or what is God? Vardy examines ancient and modern notions of what it means to talk about "God" ("one of the most fought-over and debated words in the history of ideas"), eternal life, omnipotence, prayer, and more. "An accomplished guide round the battlefield of ideas about God".--Don Cupitt.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic Philosophy of Religion Overview

This is the perfect book to start with when studying philosophy of religion. Vardy covers all the main topics and does an excellent job of showing how they interrelate. His writing is clear, concise, and entertaining. Chapter review questions and suggestions for further reading make this text especially suitable for study or for use in a book club. (The questions are so engaging that I couldn't help but journal my answers.) The most enjoyable book I've read in a long time.
