This is a fantastic book on the important question of whether God’s existence would make the world a better or worse place to be. The back-and-forth dialogue among the contributors provides a helpful venue for their new insights to be thoroughly discussed.
W. Paul Franks, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Tyndale University, Canada
What axiological value, if any, does the existence of God have? This volume presents lively philosophical dialogues that directly tackle this neglected question and Lougheed brings together a group of outstanding scholars who represent diverse perspectives. This important book will launch a new phase of the scholarly debate on the existence of God.
Yujin Nagasawa, H. G. Wood Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham, UK
The four papers in this volume are by outstanding scholars, and they address an important but underexplored topic: the axiology of theism. Each paper breaks new ground. Readers will find the commentaries by each author on the others’ work, together with replies, particularly valuable.
