Does God's Existence Need Proof Description
The possibility of proving the existence of God has fascinated thinkers and believers throughout the centuries. This book critically analyses both sides of the contemporary debate - between the two most important living philosophers of religion, Richard Swinburne and D. Z. Phillips - and constructs a way forward. The author argues for a positive relativistic position, and shows that the best description of even philosophical discussion of God's existence is that oftrust. He looks again at the arguments for God's existence, and shows that they are indeed worthwhile - but not for the traditional reasons.

The possibility of proving the existence of God has fascinated thinkers and believers throughout the centuries. For those like Richard Swinburne such a project is both worthwhile and successful. For others like D. Z. Phillips it is wholly inappropriate. Most critics have simply taken sides at this point; but this book argues a way forward showing that the disparity between Swinburne and Phillips goes deeper - questioning the fundamental nature of God the meaning of religious language and the proper task of philosophy. The author argues that behind each thinker's work and their attitudes towards proving the existence of God lies fundamental trust. A positive discussion of relativism leads to a fresh analysis of the arguments for God's existence particularly the ontological argument: Dr Messer shows that these are worthwhile - although not for the traditional reasons.
