The Naturalness of Belief presents a compelling case for theism’s naturalness and rationality. It challenges the widespread assumption that naturalism is the default position and theism is an irrational, unnatural aberration. It shows that theism is a natural, rational, and more comprehensive explanation of reality. The Naturalness of Belief begins with a naturalistic philosopher’s own perspective of naturalism and naturalness. The remaining chapters take a multifaceted approach in showing theism’s naturalness and greater explanatory power. They examine not only rational reasons for theism’s ability to account for consciousness, intentionality, beauty, human dignity, free will, rationality, and knowledge; they also look at common sensical, existential, psychological, and cultural reasons—in addition to the insights of the cognitive science of religion. In doing so, it turns the tables on the typical understanding of naturalism and theism, revealing that theism is, in fact, the more natural and rational choice. By presenting a comprehensive and multifaceted case for theism, The Naturalness of Belief offers a fresh and compelling perspective on the nature of reality, one that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the world and our place within it.
