'Many lay people may be gratified to discover that the kind ofintellectual reasoning which they are accustomed in their working life is hereapplied to the question of belief in God.'The Expository Times, 'Richard Swinburne ... has produced this impressive shortened version ofhis magisterial study The existence of God ... Swinburne shows us what the logicof probability can achieve, as he pursues his argument with relentless clarity.'The Reader, 'He argues his case very well both in this book and in others ... if youare looking for a book which will help you to see that there is more than whatyou daily observe with your senses, this is a good book to read.'The Tablet, "With audacity, [Swinburne] yields nothing to modernity that cannot withstand rigorous philosophical analysis.

Synopsis
Is There a God? offers a powerful response to modern doubts about the existence of God. It may seem today that the answers to all fundamental questions lie in the province of science, and that the scientific advances of the twentieth century leave little room for God. Cosmologists have rolled back their theories to the moment of the Big Bang; the discovery of DNA reveals the key to life; the theory of evolution explains the development of life--and with each new discovery or development, it seems that we are closer to a complete understanding of how things are. For many people, this gives strength to the belief that God is not needed to explain the universe; that religious belief is not based on reason; and that the existence of God is, intellectually, a lost cause. Richard Swinburne, one of the most distinguished philosophers of religion today, argues that on the contrary, science provides good grounds for belief in God. Why is there a universe at all? Why is there any life on Earth? How is it that discoverable scientific laws operate in the universe? Swinburne uses these methods of scientific reasoning to argue that the best answers to these questions are given by the existence of God. The picture of the universe that science gives us is completed by God. Powerful, modern, and accessible, Is There a God? is must reading for anyone interested in an intelligent and approachable defence of the existence of God., Is There a God? is a short trade book by one of the most eminent philosophers of religion of our day. It presents an accessible, modern, and powerful argument for the existence of God, at a time when scientific advances seem to give strength to the belief that God is not needed to explain the universe., Is There a God? offers a powerful response to modern doubts about the existence of God.
