Why Believe? Approaches to Religion
by
Giorgio
Baruchello and Garrett Barden
(Reykjavík,
December 2018, ISBN 978-9935-437-87-7)
Arising from
several years of private exchanges between the two authors, this book tackles a
question that both of them regard as intellectually intriguing and personally
important: how is it actually possible, that is, reasonable and good, to be
religious (Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, etc.) today? In order to find their own
reply to this question, the authors engage in a candid, humble, yet committed
inquiry concerning the intelligibility and the value of commonplace religious
issues, such as the existence of God, the roots of morality and personal
immortality.
I hope you can
find some way to get your local libraries, departments and/or potentially
interested people to purchase copies of this book, which can be obtained from
The
University of Iceland’s bookstore
(it
is possible to send them an e-mail to request the book: boksala@boksala.is)
