Abstract

In the preface of the 4th edition (p. xiii), Rowe relates the development

of philosophy of religion in the 21st century with the ability of religious

thinkers to demonstrate that religious belief supports rational arguments,

growth in the understanding of non-Western religious traditions and continued

interest in the problem of evil. He indicates his intention to address

the reasons behind the development of this field of study. Rowe divides the

topics of discussion into eleven chapters. In the introduction, the author indicates

that philosophy of religion examines basic religious beliefs as well as

the major conceptions of God that emerged in Western civilization, namely

theistic ideas of God (p. 1-3).
