Böcker av James Thrower

Illustrates the issues separating the theist from the atheist and agnostic. This book sheds light on world events and the inconsistencies inherent in supernaturalism and theistic theories. It also discusses atheism both as a reaction to belief and as a separate and consistent form of belief in a world stripped of the divine.

Since its founding by Jacques Waardenburg in 1971, Religion and Reason has been a leading forum for contributions on theories, theoretical issues and agendas related to the phenomenon and the study of religion. Topics include (among others) category formation, comparison, ethnophilosophy, hermeneutics, methodology, myth, phenomenology, philosophy of science, scientific atheism, structuralism, and theories of religion. From time to time the series publishes volumes that map the state of the art and the history of the discipline.

'What is Religion?' This is the first text to review in a single volume the theories of religion which have been put forward by both believers and non-believers.
