"While the problem of evil remains a perennial challenge to theistic belief, little attention has been paid to the special problem of animal pain and suffering. This absence is especially conspicuous in our Darwinian era when theists are forced to confront the fact that animal pain and suffering has gone on for at least tens of millions of years, through billions of animal generations. Evil of this sort might not be especially problematic if the standard of explanations for evil employed by theists could be applied in this instance as well. But there is the central problem: all or most of the explanations for evil cited by theists seem impotent to explain the reality of animal pain and suffering through evolutionary history Nature Red in Tooth and Claw addresses the evil of animal pain and suffering directly, scrutinizing explanations that have been offered for such evil."--Jacket.

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy)

Michael J. Murray's powerful memoir chronicles his difficult battle to conquer his undiagnosed pain. Murray confides his emotional torment and near collapse as numerous doctors-most of whom don't actually take the time to truly listen to their desperate patient-promise relief but only deliver ineffective treatments, contradicting diagnoses, and often dispassionate care. In the end, Murray's chance discovery in a book on back pain leads to a dawning awareness of the emotional root of his near-constant agony. As he digs deeper into this line of medicine and therapy that connects the mind and body, he uncovers how significant moments from his past manifest as physical and emotional pains in his present. Murray's recounting of his journey is honest and vulnerable, and anyone who is suffering from chronic physical or emotion pain or knows someone on this difficult path will appreciate what he learned about - the deep connection between mind and body - the inspiring, innovative methods that can cure physical and emotional pain - how to heal our inner selves to heal physical pain This eye-opening memoir is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to truly feel better and enjoy a heightened sense of well-being . . . beginning right now.

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion provides a broad overview of the topics which are at the forefront of discussion in contemporary philosophy of religion. Prominent views and arguments from both historical and contemporary authors are discussed and analyzed. The book treats all of the central topics in the field, including the coherence of the divine attributes, theistic and atheistic arguments, faith and reason, religion and ethics, miracles, human freedom and divine providence, science and religion, and immortality. In addition it addresses topics of significant importance that similar books often ignore, including the argument for atheism from hiddenness, the coherence of the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation, and the relationship between religion and politics. It will be a valuable accompaniment to undergraduate and introductory graduate-level courses.

Poder descifrar el origen de la religión en la naturaleza humana y su fundamento en la razón es uno de los temas antropológicos más interesantes y polémicos de la modernidad. Sin embargo, 250 años después de Hume y 150 años después de Darwin, este crucial y fascinante debate entre la religión y las ciencias naturales sigue siendo un tema poco tratado en la vida cívica e intelectual. El primate creyente lanza una serie de cuestiones que invitan a la discusión y reflexión sobre este tema. El libro comienza con una introducción que repasa el panorama teórico y comenta los puntos más importantes de cada una de las áreas religiosas y científicas, y continúa con una serie de capítulos que describen y defienden varias aproximaciones para explicar la religión desde una perspectiva evolucionista. Finalmente, algunas secciones —las cuales incluyen contribuciones de filósofos, teólogos y científicos del comportamiento— lidian con las implicaciones de las teorías actuales. Desde una perspectiva claramente interdisciplinar, el lector se verá estimulado por las cuestiones que aquí se plantean y que surgen después de más de un siglo de debate, en los que se ha pasado de buscar las interpretaciones religiosas de la evolución a plantear, dando un vuelco al tema, las interpretaciones evolucionistas de la religión.

Reflexiones científicas, filosóficas y teológicas sobre el origen de la religión

El primate creyente

During the last two decades there has been a renaissance in the field of Christian philosophy. Unfortunately, most of this excellent work has not reached general readers. Reason for the Hope Within was produced specifically to make available the best of contemporary Christian philosophy in a clear, accessible -- and highly relevant -- manner. Fourteen of America's rising Christian philosophers here cover many of the traditional themes of Christian apologetics (arguments for the existence of God, the problem of evil, the possibility of miracles) as well as topics of special relevance to today's world (Eastern religions, Christianity and science, Christianity and ethics, the existence of heaven and hell).
