This book provides a detailed, updated exposition and defense of Five of the historically most important (but in recent years largely neglected) philosophical Proofs of God\'s existence: the Aristotelian, the Neo-Platonic, the Augustinian, the Thomistic, and the Rationalist.
It thereby serves as a refutation both of atheism and of the fideism that gives aid and comfort to atheism..
Its aim is to vindicate the view of the greatest philosophers of the past-- thinkers like Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas, Leibniz, and many others-- that the Existence of God can be established with certainty by way of purely rational arguments.
This work provides as ambitious and complete a defense of traditional natural theology as is currently in print.
Finally, it answers at length all of the objections that have been leveled against these proofs.
It also offers a thorough treatment of each of the key divine attributes--unity, simplicity, eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, and so forth--showing that they must be possessed by the God whose Existence is demonstrated by the proofs.
