Includes bibliographical references and index.
Intro; Title Page; Acknowledgements; Note on Transliteration; Introduction; Chapter 1: Theism and Atheism; Chapter 2: A Brief Biography of Saïd Nursi; Chapter 3: The Teleological Argument; Chapter 4: Prophethood; Chapter 5: Revelations; Chapter 6: Morality and Conscience; Chapter 7: Analysis and Conclusion; Appendices; Bibliography
"Is there a God?" is one of those irrepressible questions that has been debated throughout human history, with scholars from opposites camps making the case for or against the existence of God. It is a never-ending debate. This book first examines the theistic arguments developed by Islamic scholar Said Nursi in the twentieth century. Although his arguments initially seem to be mere presentations of well-established theistic arguments for God--such as teleological and cosmological, and arguments from miracles and morals-it is clear that Nursi takes a fresh approach to these existing philosophical defences. The book then analyses how Nursi tackles certain atheistic arguments-such as the problem of evil and the possibility of existence without a creator-and criticism leveled against the prophets and the Qur'an.
