The proposition that the existence of God is demonstrable by rational
argument is doubted by nearly all philosophical opinion today and is
thought by most Christian theologians to be incompatible with
Christian faith. This book argues that, on the contrary, there are
reasons of faith why in principle the existence of God should be
thought rationally demonstrable and that it is worthwhile revisiting
the theology of Thomas Aquinas to see why this is so. The book further
suggests that philosophical objections to proofs of God's existence
rely upon an attenuated and impoverished conception of reason which
theologians of all monotheistic traditions might wish to reject. Denys
Turner proposes that on a broader and deeper conception of it, human
rationality is open to the 'sacramental shape' of creation as such and
in its exercise of rational proof of God it in some way participates
in that sacramentality of all things.
