The shadow of David Hume, the eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher, has loomed large against all efforts to prove the existence of God from evidence in the natural world. Indeed from Hume's day to ours, the vast majority of philosophical attacks against the rationality of theism have borne an unmistakable Humean aroma. The last forty years, however, have been marked by a resurgence in Christian theism among philosophers, and the time has come for a thorough reassessment of the case for natural theology. James F. Sennett and Douglas Groothuis have assembled a distinguished team of philosophers to engage the task: Terence Penelhum, Todd M. Furman, Keith Yandell, Garrett J. DeWeese, Joshua Rasmussen, James D. Madden, Robin Collins, Paul Copan, Victor Reppert, J. P. Moreland, Douglas Groothuis, James Sennett, and R. Douglas Geivett. Together this team makes vigorous individual and cumulative arguments that set Hume's attacks in fresh perspective and that offer new insights into the value of teleological, cosmological and ontological arguments for God's existence.

This is a very good book! I've read 3/4ths of it. It's especially helpful if you're studying under neo-Humean materialistic philosophers as I am.
Hey Doug, how much more would it be to ship it to the UK?
I cannot send it outside the US.
How many copies do you have have available? I'd like very much to have one but won't be able to send the check until this coming Wednesday.
I should have enough for the near future.
Is it on Amazon for a great price? If so I will buy...
Amazon does not have it for a discount.
