IL VOLUME
This book is the English adaptation of Antonio Livi's treatise of the rational basis for belief in Christian Revelation (see Razionalità della fede nella rivelazione). Livi's popularity in Italy will undoubtedly spread to the United States and other English speaking countries as serious scholars discover his new insights into an ancient debate, i.e., the rationality of belief. At a time like our's when "belief" abounds yet often times without consideration of the inherent logic of the truth claims of those beliefs, Livi's book will move the debate forward, just like John Haldane and Alvin Plantinga have done for the past two decades. A must read for serious thinkers, not only for those of the Thomistic tradition, but also for those of the analytical and phenomenological schools of thought.
