“More than a few people seem to regard it as a mark of sophistication to hold that nothing exists that transcends the natrual order. But as Stewart Goetz and Charles Taliaferro show in the splendid new book, ‘naturalism’ is anything but a sophisticated view of reality. Under rigorous philosophical scrutiny, it isn’t eve a plausible one…. Patiently, gently, but in the end decisively, Goetz and Taliaferro demolish the dogmas of naturalism.”
~ Robert P. George, Princeton University
“This is the clearest and most penetrating exposition and critique of naturalism anywhere. In accessible, nontechnical language and brevity of style, the authors have managed to identify important versions of naturalism and expose the Achilles’ heel of each. In a day when theologians and Christian leaders feel bullied by scientific naturalism, this book is a must-read.”
~ J.P. Moreland, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
“A brilliant book! These veteran philosphers reprsent naturalism fairly, both allowing its spokesperson to speak for themselves and accurately interpreting their views. Yet the authors’ criticisms of naturalism and their defense of theism are trenchant and insightful. Superbly done!”
~ Paul Copan, Palm Beach Atlantic University
