The Philosophy of Religion - A Commentary and Sourcebook (Volume II) (Paperback, New)

One of the most notable features of the current philosophical climate is the resurgence of interest, at school and university, in the Philosophy of Religion. With his extensive teaching experience at both these levels, Dr Michael Palmer has created another invaluable aid for all students and instructors working in this area. This two-volume anthology is the most comprehensive compilation of major writings now before the public, while its user-friendly structure makes it particularly important for students at differing levels of attainment. The book includes comprehensive introductions to each topic, detailed analysis of each essay, biographical information about individual philosophers, wide-ranging bibliographies and examination questions. The result is the most important aid to study in this area now on the market, which will be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and the general reader alike. Dr Michael Palmer is one of the most widely read contemporary philosophers, whose 'Moral Problems' (Lutterworth Press, 1991), based on a course developed at Manchester Grammar School, remains the most influential school coursebook in philosophy of its generation. Among his many other publications are 'Freud and Jung on Religion' (1997) and 'The Question of God'.
