For courses in Philosophy of Religion. Using various and competing religious sensibilities, Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion helps students work through the traditional material and their own religious questions. This text can be used alone or in conjunction with Kellenberger's Introduction to Philosophy of Religion: An Anthology.
