DESCRIPTION:
The proposition that the existence of God is demonstrable by rational argument is doubted by nearly all philosophical opinion today and is thought by most Christian theologians to be incompatible with Christian faith. Turner's robust challenge to the prevailing orthodoxies will be of interest to believers as well as non-believers.. Denys Turner argues that there are reasons of faith why the existence of God should be thought rationally demonstrable and that it is worthwhile revisiting the theology of Thomas Aquinas to see why
Griffiths . It's a book written with clarity and wit, and it also shows a substantial knowledge of contemporary and medieval discussions of the place of argument in knowing God." Paul J. "We are fortunate to find in Denys Turner's most recent work a diagnosis of this practice which offers a therapeutic alternative by exposing the genius of Aquinas' adaptation of philosophical reason to theological ends." - David B. Burrell C.S.C., University of Notre Dame"Denys Turner's latest book is a subtle and distinguished contribution to the enormous literature on faith and reason
