Religion Within Reason, Second Edition

About this book

Most believers and their critics agree that religious commitment relies on the acceptance of supernaturalism. Steven M. Cahn argues to the contrary. He maintains that theism is neither necessary nor sufficient for adherence to a religious outlook. He writes in a nonpolemical spirit about morality, the problem of evil, faith, miracles, heaven, mystical experience, and religious diversity. His book develops a strong case for the reconciliation of science and religion.
