With over 40,000 copies in print since its original publication in 1982, Steve Evans's Philosophy of Religion has served many generations of students as a classic introduction to the philosophy of religion from a Christian perspective. Over the years the philosophical landscape has changed, and in this new edition Zach Manis joins Evans in a thorough revamping of arguments and information, while maintaining the qualities of clarity and brevity that made the first edition so appreciated. New material on divine foreknowledge and human freedom has been added as well as on Reformed epistemology. The discussions on science now cover new developments from cognitive psychology and naturalism as well as on the fine-tuning of the cosmos. The chapter on faith and reason has been expanded to include consideration of evidentialism. The problem of evil now forms its own new chapter and adds a discussion of the problem of hell. The standard features remain: a survey of the field, an examination of classical arguments for God's existence, and an exploration of contemporary challenges to theism from the social sciences and philosophy as well as the natural sciences. The meaning and significance of personal religious experience, revelation and miracles--all within the realm of contemporary religious pluralism--are likewise investigated. A classic introduction thoroughly updated and refreshed for today's student.

Generations is an evening of three thought-provoking one-act plays inspired by the mysteries and magic between generations. In Monuments by Stephen Evans, an aging Ralph Waldo Emerson travels down the Nile river with his daughter, struggling with memory yet suffused in memories. In Last Laug h by Morey Norkin, an ailing and unsuccessful comic attempts to bridge the gaps with a younger colleague anticipating her big break. In Late Nights in Car s by Michael Gilles, the ever-mutable dynamics of fathers and daughters unfolds through the cars they drive and the forces that drive them. Generations has seven characters (three male, four female, played by two or more actors), three simple unit sets, and requires no complex effects.
