John Hick is a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham, UK, and an emeritus professor both of that University and of the Claremont Graduate University in California. He is an internationally read and discussed philosopher of religion, his books having been translated into sixteen languages. This book provides the epistemological basis of all his later work, including Evil and the God of Love and An Interpretation of Religion.
Arthur C. McGill (1926 -1980) was the Bussey Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School. A distinguished philosopher and theologian, he also taught at Amherst College, Wesleyan University, and Princeton University.
"John Hick's and Arthur McGill's The Many-Faced Argument is a remarkable volume precisely because it sheds light on, as the title suggests, many different interpretations of and many different responses to the ontological argument through carefully selected works. Despite its age, the ontological argument still occupies the central part of the philosophy of religion, and vigorous debate on the cogency of the argument continues to occupy philosophers. The new reprint edition of The Many-Faced Argument from Wipf and Stock is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and general readers."
