Great Thinkers on Great Questions
Autor Roy Abraham Vargheseen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2009
Is there a God? Are our choices free? Does the soul exist? Great Thinkers on Great Questions presents cogent answers from some of the greatest thinkers of modern times to fifteen of the most enduring questions faced by humanity. Drawing on a diverse range of views from such influential figures as Richard Swinburne, Alvin Plantinga and Keith Ward, the book broaches God and atheism, ethics, truth, free will, and the compatibility of science and religion. For questioning minds who seek alternative philosophical viewpoints, this is a unique insight into the fundamental questions which epitomise the human condition. Roy Abraham Varghese is an experienced author and editor on the subject of science and religion. His book Human Endings won the Templeton Book Prize for Theology in 1995. Time magazine described his book Cosmos, Bios, Theos as "the year’s most intriguing book about God".
