Between faith and doubtdialogues on religion and reason /[electronic resource] :John Hick. - Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire ;Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - x, 176 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 167-173) and index.

Defining the issue : naturalism vs. religion -- Can God's existence be proved? -- What do we mean by God? -- Religion without transcendence? -- Religious experience -- Trusting religious experience -- Despite the religious contradictions? -- Neuroscience and religious experience -- More on neuroscience -- Implications for Christianity -- Implicationsfor islam -- The religions : good or bad?-- Suffering and wickedness -- Life after death? -- Cosmic optimism.

This book takes the form of a dialogue between philosopher of religion John Hick and someone,anyone, who is a religious skeptic or is somewhere between faith and doubt. Neither of them is dogmatic and their discussion is honest and fair. It covers a range of questions: Is the pervasively skeptical character of today's culture well founded or only an assumption? Is the usual idea of God viable, and if not what is the alternative? Can God's existence be proved? Is religious experience authentic, particularly in the light of modern neuroscience? What about thecontradictory beliefs of thedifferent religions? Can we have religionwithout transcendence, as advocate by the Sea of Faith movement? Can there be a good God, or a friendly universe, when there is so much pain and suffering? Can there be a life after death? Between Faith and Doubtalso includes some fascinating autobiographical revelations: of Hick'sevangelical conversion and subsequent development to much more liberalbeliefs,of being involved in a heresy trial, of being in an earthquake, his own powerful religious experience, and witnessing a materializing seance. This short, briliantly written book is and accessible andconcise way of understanding both Hick's views, and quickly gaining a grasp of some of the central issues in philosophy of religion.
