A nice approach to a badly overrated argument Most of the rest of the book takes up this challenge. A miracle claim is much less implausible against a theistic background, so Beckwith first offers a carefully-presented argument for God's existence. Only then does he offer a developed argument for a particular miracle claim, that of the Resurrection of Jesus. Obviously, as with any topic of interest, much more can be said on the issues Beckwith discusses; indeed, even the arguments he employs have been subject to much debate in the dozen or so years since his book came out. But I fail to see that he has made any straightforward methodological errors, contra cwyoung. As for Deepak Gupta's terse dismissal, however, one is reminded of the dreary anti-religious chauvinism of an earlier time, highlighted by the false dilemma between philosophy and apologetics. As for the "strong" arguments Beckwith allegedly "evades", it seems that Gupta is confusing this with a textbook. Of course Beckwith should - and _does_ - deal with objections to the positive arguments he does make; to blame him for not responding to every possible objection, germane or not, is not to understand how books are written. Finally, Gupta's remark that there is "little that would be convincing absent an a priori acceptance of theistic premises" is just a rhetorical trick. As mentioned above, Beckwith devotes significant space to arguing for the existence of God; it is by no means assumed. Gupta may not like the argument, or its conclusion, but the book provides the reader with a substantive defense of theism. In conclusion: there are other, more recent and/or more thorough works of Christian apologetics, but this is a worthwhile effort and a nice, sympathetic treatment of Hume's argument (and that of some of its successors as well). Not a must-buy, but a good book, well-worth getting for those interested in a theistic response to Hume. (The price is rather steep for its size, though, so get it used.)

Editorial Review Product Description David Hume may well be the most significant philosopher ever to write in the English language: his arguments dramatically influenced both scientific and religious thinking, and much of what he wrote-particular concerning free will, political theory, and religion-still sounds startlingly modern. Hume himself called this "incomparably the best" of all his many writings. First published in 1751, it is an astonishing consideration of source and value of the feelings, thoughts, and actions we call "morality," and it is required reading for anyone who calls himself educated.
