Beskrivning
Tracing a dialectical path, The Maturing of Monotheism emphasises the plausibility of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and kindred forms of monotheism and responds to anti-theistic challenges of our day. These include materialism, determinism, the denial of objective value, the pervasiveness of evil, and predictions of human individual and collective extinction. The book reviews traditional metaphysical ways of arguing for monotheism but employs a cumulative, more experiential approach. While agnosticism affects humanity's most basic beliefs, Garth Hallett demonstrates that there remains ample room for rational, theistic faith.Of keen interest to students and researchers alike, The Maturing of Monotheism offers new insights and approaches in this steadily advancing field.

Recensioner i media

The Maturing of Monotheism is a welcome addition to Garth Hallett’s distinguished life-long inquiry into religion, God, and now the monotheism so very essential to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Ever the master of clear and instructive prose, Hallett ably investigates monotheism as an idea and category, even as he accounts for the objections and misunderstandings that abound. This book is a quiet treasure for those thinking seriously about “the one God” in today’s complex religious environment.
