Philosophers Who Believe: The Spiritual Journeys of 11 Leading Thinkers

Time magazine reports on a remarkable renaissance of religious belief among philosophers:

"In a quiet revolution in thought and arguments that hardly anyone could have foreseen only two decades ago, God is making a comeback. Most intriguingly, this is happening ... in the crisp, intellectual circles of academic philosophers... Now it is more respectable among philosophers than it has been for a generation to talk about the possibility of God's existence."

Relying on boldness and rigorous thought, the movers and shakers of this "quiet revolution" have developed their theories against the rising tide of strict empiricism. Who are these tough-minded intellectuals, and why have they embraced Christian belief? In Philosophers Who Believe several key thinkers answer this question with unusual candor, warmth and brilliance.
