About This Book

A series of dialogues and essays staged as conversational debates examines the arguments for and against religious faith in light of contemporary sceptical speculation. It confronts claims that revealed religion is unreasonable and that miracles are impossible, testing evidential, philosophical, and historical grounds for belief while acknowledging unresolved difficulties. The author employs analogies, critiques of prevailing objections, and reflections on moral and scriptural credibility to distinguish between philosophical doubts and substantive refutations, arguing that many skeptical claims depend on fallacies or misplaced standards of proof.
