Faith and Reason by Richard Swinburne

This is the final volume of the trilogy on philosophical theology. Swinburne reaches the conclusion that the kind of faith necessary for religion involves both trust and belief, but a belief which supposes that a certain creed is more likely to be true than the creed of any rival religion. He does not in any way presuppose the results of the earlier volumes. 'The task that he set himself has been completed with immense power and elegance. Swinburne (like Hume) will surely be quoted as long as English-speaking philosophers think about the question of God' Fergus Kerr in The Tablet
