Moody maps the spectrum of philosophical arguments and counterarguments for the existence of God. By structuring the participants’ colloquial conversations along classical lines, Moody presents an accessible and concrete display of the concerns central to theist and atheist thinking, including consecutive discussions on the burden of proof, the first cause, a necessary being, the natural order, suffering, miracles, experience as knowledge, and rationality without proof.

“. . . absolutely superb . . . simply brilliant, a perfect combination of philosophical depth, balance, clarity, and good writing. It is quite the best philosophical dialogue I have ever read, better than Plato in sustaining attention to the pros and cons of the issues in question.”
