Summary:	"Arguments for or against God's existence can be intense, complex, and disconcerting; in fact, they often raise more questions than they answer. In [this book], C. Stephen Layman offers an innovative approach to the debate--a way to organize a seeming multitude of related claims and ideas--bringing clarity to a discussion that is often mired in confusion."--Publisher description, from p. [4] of cover.
