Five Proofs of the Existence of God

By: Edward Feser

Narrated by: David Sanborn

This book provides a detailed, updated exposition and defense of five of the historically most important (but in recent years largely neglected) philosophical proofs of God’s existence: the Aristotelian, the Neo-Platonic, the Augustinian, the Thomistic, and the Rationalist.

It also offers a thorough treatment of each of the key divine attributes—unity, simplicity, eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, and so forth—showing that they must be possessed by the God whose existence is demonstrated by the proofs. Finally, it answers at length all of the objections that have been leveled against these proofs. This work provides as ambitious and complete a defense of traditional natural theology as is currently in print. Its aim is to vindicate the view of the greatest philosophers of the past— thinkers like Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas, Leibniz, and many others— that the existence of God can be established with certainty by way of purely rational arguments. It thereby serves as a refutation both of atheism and of the fideism that gives aid and comfort to atheism.

The precision of the arguments

The reader was somewhat monotone. The information was exceptional. I enjoyed it very much. Intellectually stimulating.

Outstanding in Every Aspect

This is probably the best single book to pull the honest skeptic back from the brink of the atheistic/skeptical intellectual abyss. This book was instrumental in saving my life & marriage when I first read & struggled with it as a proud/stubborn atheist several years ago. The audio version is excellent & and welcome addition.

huh?

I'm not even thru the 1st chapter and I'm saying, huh?
cause, potential, causality. Every sentence repeated those words constantly. Anyone who said this was easy to understand is crazy. Maybe as I read on I'll understand more. As of now, not too fond of it
