Linguistics, Religion & Spirituality, Religious, Philosophy 

In the preface to this edition, Rowe and Wainwright note that “A number of these sections represent new dimensions that have emerged in the current discussion of the topics included in this book.” Some of the new readings include essays by Robert M. Adams, Peter Van Inwagan, William P. Alston, and Peter Byrne. The authors have coupled these modern essays with readings from classical philosophers, thus offering instructors and students an even more comprehensive and well-focused textbook. A second important feature is the inclusion of essays that are particularly accessible to beginning philosophy students.
The combination of these features results in a textbook that is epically helpful for students but also provides room for instructor to create a unique course plan.
