Whether you’re a devoted believer, a staunch atheist, or a wavering skeptic, you likely have unanswered questions about religion. If you adhere to a certain religion, you may wonder how the tenets of a different faith may intersect or conflict with yours.

Among Kuhn’s interlocutors are philosophers, theologians, and novelists. They include Oxford philosophy professor Richard Swinburne, author of The Existence of God, a celebrated defense of theism; renowned Anglican priest and Cambridge professor emeritus of systematic theology Sarah Coakley; and Templeton Prize recipient Alvin Plantinga, analytic philosopher and professor at the University of Notre
