Excellent Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I teach Philosophy of Religion at Monroe County Community College (Monroe, Michigan). I received Stairs's and Bernard's text for review. I find it excellent in many ways. It's clearly written. It is sensitive to introductory students' abilities (it is very difficult material for students who have no philosophical background). For example, S & B's explanation of Plantinga's modal version of the Ontological Argument is, I think, as good as anything I've ever read. This book would be a great choice to complement the primary source material, almost all of which, in spite of its billiance, is unreadable to most students who would take Intro to Philosophy of Religion.

Despite the odd title - would anyone buy a non-thinker's Guide? - and annoying references to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (aimed at US college students) this is a good, balanced, comprehensive introduction.
