Willard looks at the areas of faith, reason and science, making a rigorous case for why it still makes sense to believe in God.PERSONAL RELIGION, PUBLIC REALITY? is a powerful, eloquent book, written for all those interested in the philosophy of faith, whether Christian or not.

Media Reviews
'Vintage Dallas Willard: provocative, informative, and reflective. A marvellous rebuttal of the critics of Christianity who declare that faith is about the evasion of reasoning.' -- Alister McGrath, Professor of Theology, Ministry and Education, King's College, London 'How refreshing to discover in PERSONAL RELIGION, PUBLIC REALITY? a contemporary book that demands careful thinking on the part of the reader. As a distinguished professor of philosophy for many years Dr Dallas Willard possesses a keen understanding of the value and reality of knowledge. In PERSONAL RELIGION, PUBLIC REALITY? he focuses this understanding like a laser beam to the issue of moral knowledge as a legitimate source for understanding reality and applying it to daily life. PERSONAL RELIGION, PUBLIC REALITY may not be an easy read, but it is a must read. It is for your life.' -- Richard J. Foster, author of CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE
