Beginning with a definition of realism, Peter Byrne discusses the various forms of theological realism and offers a critical study of a number of issues surrounding the realist interpretation of theism and theology.

Examining the beliefs of various theistic systems, particularly within Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism, Basinger discusses seemingly incompatible claims about many religious issues, including the nature of God and the salvation of humankind.

Is God temporal or atemporal? Interacting with issues in the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy of science, and philosophy of religion, this book offers a thorough introduction to the key issues and key figures in historical and contemporary work on the philosophy of time and time in theology.

Addresses central issues arising from religion's relation to morality. Covering a broad range of topics, this book draws on both historical and contemporary literature, and explores afresh central issues of morality and religion.

Examines three prominent objections to natural theology that have emerged in the Reformed streams of the Protestant theological tradition: objections from the immediacy of our knowledge of God, the noetic effects of sin, and the logic of theistic arguments.

Discusses the three main inter-related questions in a philosophical discussion about God - the question of meaning, the question of existence, and the question of co-existence. This book explores various 'ciphers' of this asymmetrical relationship in our pre-philosophical lived experience.

Why do bad things happen, even to good people? If there is a God, why aren't God's existence and God's will for humans more apparent? This work argues that as long as God is believed to be all-powerful, there are no adequate answers to these problems, nor is it enough for theists simply to claim that human ignorance makes these problems insoluble.
