Exploring the Philosophy of Religion

by David Stewart

Exploring the Philosophy of Religion, 7th Edition, combines the best features of a text and a reader by offering clear analysis coupled with important primary-source readings. Professor David Stewart called upon his 30-plus years of teaching experience to introduce students to the important study of philosophical issues raised by religion. Beginning students often find primary sources alone too difficult so this text offers primary source materials by a variety of significant philosophers―including a balanced blend of classical and contemporary authors―but the materials are supported by clearly written introductions, which better prepare students to understand the readings.

[Stephen Bedard · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a really good introduction to the philosophy of religion. It has introductions by the author and then has samples from different philosophers throughout history. Very helpful.

Great compilation of philosophical writings. Not my idea of light reading, but was an interesting textbook.
