Book Description
Julia Watkin is an internationally known Kierkegaard specialist. In recent years she has been senior lecturer in philosophy at the University of Tasmania, Australia, before becoming an Honorary Research Associate of the University. She has also specialized in the interface between religion and science. In 1997 she won a John Templeton Foundation Science and Religion Course Competition Prize Award for her course on the Philosophy of Religion and Science.
In this book, Julia Watkin explores some current views about God and God’s existence. She maintains that the claim that traditional Christian ideas about God are somehow out of date, and thus urgently in need of revision, rests on a number of inaccurate presuppositions. She also shows that claims about God’s existence, since they go beyond the scope of physics and other sciences, must always be matters of belief and faith.
Topics dealt with in the book are God and supernature, communication between the divine and ourselves, the vexed question of miracles, and what Watkin describes as ”the Darwinian red herring.”
