    Contemporary Arguments in Natural Theology: God and Rational Belief (edited book)
    with Colin Ruloff
    Bloomsbury Publishing. 2021.
    In recent years there has been a bold revival in the field of natural theology, where “natural theology” can be understood as the attempt to demonstrate that God exists by way of reason, evidence, and argument without the appeal to divine revelation. Today's practitioners of natural theology have not only revived and recast all of the traditional arguments in the field, but, by drawing upon the findings of contemporary cosmology, chemistry, and biology, have also developed a range of fascinating…Read more
    In recent years there has been a bold revival in the field of natural theology, where “natural theology” can be understood as the attempt to demonstrate that God exists by way of reason, evidence, and argument without the appeal to divine revelation. Today's practitioners of natural theology have not only revived and recast all of the traditional arguments in the field, but, by drawing upon the findings of contemporary cosmology, chemistry, and biology, have also developed a range of fascinating new ones. Contemporary Arguments in Natural Theology brings together twenty experts working in the field today. Together, they practice natural theology from a wide range of perspectives, and show how the field of natural theology is practiced today with a degree of diversity and confidence not seen since the Middle Ages. Aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and graduate students, the volume will also be of interest to researchers in philosophy, theology, biblical studies, and religious studies, as an indispensable resource on contemporary theistic proofs.

    Dialogue 37 (2): 398-. 1998.
    This collection of papers is a Festschrift in honour of Terence Penelhum, and a superb collection it is. Three things set it apart from the majority of such works. First, the contributions are, without exception, of high quality. Second, they form a coherent and well-organized whole. Third, the editors have provided Penelhum with an opportunity to respond to each of the thirteen contributors.
