The last few decades have witnessed a stunning resurgence of philosophical interest in God and theology. Although much of this renaissance is focused on the rationality of theistic belief apart from evidence, there is a gathering movement in philosophical circles to re-establish natural theology's legitimacy in explaining God's existence.

With the help of in-depth essays from some of the world's leading philosophers, The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology explores the nature and existence of God through human reason and evidence from the natural world. * Provides in-depth and cutting-edge treatment of natural theology's main arguments * Includes contributions from first-rate philosophers well known for their work on the relevant topics * Updates relevant arguments in light of the most current, state-of-the-art philosophical and scientific discussions * Stands in useful contrast and opposition to the arguments of the 'new atheists'
