seventy entries from a team of renowned international
contributors are organized into nine clear parts:

Covering key world religions

Companion explores the central topics in theism such as
the ontological, cosmological and teleological arguments
for God’s existence. Three final parts consider
Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern orthodoxy and
current debates including phenomenology, reformed
epistemology, religious experience, and religion and
science, making the
Companion as a whole
essential reading for students of philosophy or
religion, and suitable for anyone coming to the subject
for the first time.
