Experience, Explanation and Faith: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion by Anthony O'Hear presents a systematic and intellectually rigorous examination of the foundational questions that sit at the heart of religious belief — from the existence of God and the problem of evil to the nature of religious experience and the limits of rational explanation. Drawing on his position within the Department of Philosophy at the University of Surrey, O'Hear approaches these ancient debates with clarity and precision, making complex arguments accessible without sacrificing academic depth.\n\nThe work argues that neither blind faith nor reductive scepticism offers a satisfying account of humanity's persistent religious impulse, and instead maps the philosophical terrain with admirable balance and scholarly authority. O'Hear's style is characteristically analytic — lucid, methodical, and precise — placing this volume firmly within the tradition of British philosophy of religion that includes Swinburne and Hick. Published by the esteemed Routledge \u0026amp; Kegan Paul, this introduction remains an indispensable starting point for students and general readers alike — but its deeper questions linger long after the final page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130927980763,"sku":"2026200012223-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4bf2e3a7-94c1-463d-9638-73bc0ef16510.png?v=1786592464","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012223-secondhand-experience-explanation-and-faith-an-introduction-to-the-philosophy-of-religion","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
