Abstract

The Devil’s Advocate versus God’s Honest Truth: A Dialectical Inquiry into the Rationality of Religion is a scholarly monograph exploring the rationality of religion, particularly the tenability of theism, through a dialectical analysis of reasons for belief versus grounds for suspicion. The positive perspective examines traditional proofs for the existence of God, focusing specifically on the teleological, cosmological, and ontological arguments, while the negative perspective contemplates common grounds for misgivings, concentrating especially on methodological difficulties, syncretic developments, and metaethical challenges. The comprehensive yet balanced coverage of the book is designed to meet the needs of readers for critical reflection without compromising the objectivity required to help them sort out their own intuitions and formulate their own judgments in an area that is otherwise dominated by sectarian scholarship and thereby polarized beyond reconciliation.
