Philosophy of Religion

What is religion? Are religious beliefs rational? Do science and religion conflict? Does God exist? Are we immortal? These are just a few of the fundamental questions explored in the philosophy of religion. In this accessible and comprehensive introduction, Sebastian Gäb presents the core problems, debates, and theories central to contemporary philosophy of religion. Structured into 14 concise chapters, the book covers both classical and modern perspectives, providing readers with a balanced understanding of the field. Designed primarily for students of philosophy, theology, and religious studies, this book also appeals broadly to anyone interested in philosophical questions about religion. Additionally, it serves as an ideal textbook for Philosophy of Religion courses at the undergraduate level. Sebastian Gäb is Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) Munich and a member of LMU's Centre for Buddhist Studies.
