The Virtue of Faith and Other Essays in Philosophical Theology.

Abstract

This collection of Robert Merrihew Adam's essays, two of them previously unpublished, draws on his extensive writings on philosophical theology, and discusses metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical issues surrounding the concept of God - questions of whether God exists or not, what He is or would be like, and how we ought to relate to such a being. Professor Adams, a leader in renewing philosophical respect for the idea that moral obligation may be founded on the command of God, studies the relation between religion and ethics, delving into an examination of moral arguments for theistic belief. Philosophers of religion; theologians.
