About this book
Religious belief faces the tests of reason, scientific knowledge and historical criticism in Vivian Phelips's study of unbelief. Taking a rationalist position, the author examines Christian claims about miracles, biblical authority and the relationship between evolution and creation. The opening preface presents the inquiry as a search for both intellectual clarity and a basis for moral life, with an emphasis on speaking candidly about doubt.
The discussion of design gives a close example of the book's argumentative method. Phelips compares explanations that depend on a guiding intelligence with accounts of a universe governed by consistent natural laws. He challenges analogies used by religious defenders and considers how organisms respond to their surroundings. Readers interested in the history of religious debate will find sustained arguments about evidence, belief and the place of scientific explanations.
