Keith Yandell's Philosophy of Religion: A Contemporary Introduction was one of the first textbooks to explore the philosophy of religion with reference to religions other than Christianity. This new, revised edition explores the logical validity and truth claims of several world religions-Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism-with updated, streamlined discussions on important topics in philosophy of religion such as:

• Religious pluralism
• Freedom and responsibility
• Evidentialist Moral Theism
• Reformed Epistemology
• Doxastic Practice Epistemology
• The problem of evil
• Ontological and cosmological arguments

Other new features include updated Questions for Reflection,and new Annotated Bibliographies for each chapter, as well as an updated Glossary. This exciting new edition, much like its classic predecessor, is sure to be a classroom staple for undergraduate students studying philosophy of religion, as well as a comprehensive introductory read for anyone interested in the subject.

Reviews

"Keith Yandell is a first-rate philosopher who has written a clear-headed, fair, comprehensive introduction to thinking about the nature and cogency of 'western' and 'eastern' religious beliefs and practices. It is wide-ranging and rich with sustained, engaging arguments about God, the sacred, the self, values, and nature."

Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College, USA

Praise for the first edition:

The central strength of the book is its willingness to argue points out in detail rather than just reporting on arguments. It is a model of rigorous argument applied to questions of religion.
-Mark Wynn, Australian Catholic University, Brisbane

...Yandell's book stands out as an exemplary work in analytical philosophy of religion and readers of this journal [Philosophia Christi] are indebted to his considerable philosophical acumen...[Yandell] takes us a good way down the path to appreciating the philosophical power of theism. ...Philosophy of Religion: A Contemporary Introduction is a fine text of interest to the specialist and, with a little help in the classroom, a refreshing resource for students.
- Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College Philosophia Christi, Spring 2003
