Synopsis

This is the final volume of the trilogy on philosophical theology. Swinburne reaches the conclusion that the kind of faith necessary for religion involves both trust and belief, but a belief which supposes that a certain creed is more likely to be true than the creed of any rival religion. He does not in any way presuppose the results of the earlier volumes. 'The task that he set himself has been completed with immense power and elegance. Swinburne (like Hume) will surely be quoted as long as English-speaking philosophers think about the question of God' Fergus Kerr in The Tablet

Media Reviews
Swinburne's discussion offers the most sustained, and perhaps the most interesting, treatment of these and related questions from a philosophical perspective in many years....Admirably illustrates the usefulness of an analytic approach to problems in the philosophy of religion. --Religious Studies
Review
Swinburne's lucidity, philosophical breadth and sophistication, excellence in argumentation, and boldness in conviction will set the standard in philosophy of religion for a long time to come. --The Philosophical Review
[Though] part of a larger series, [The book] can be read and appreciated on its own merit....[Swinburne] communicates well, and the interested philosophy of religion student will not only gain information here, but...can see a model of an appropriate philosophical method for our day. I would urge
my students to brush up their intellectual skills by reading this book. --Southwestern Journal of Theology
Fills a needed niche in the study of the philosophy of religion. --Jack Cottrell, Cincinnati Bible Seminary
