Summary: God may be necessary, but this book is not
Comment: Although Parrish makes a number of excellent points, in the end I found his argument insufficiently compelling. Although, other reviews on this title have been positive I would question the motives of such reviews (Beckwith is a close associate of Parrish's and has co-authored other works). Parrish seems to present the theology as he would like to believe it and then molding his conclusions to that worldview. I would like to see a more neutral and unbiased position explored.

Rating: 5
Summary: Sophisticated Defense of Classical Christian Theism
Comment: This is one of the most sophisticated defenses for the view that God is a logically necessary Being and that this view is philosophically superior to its two rivals: the Brute Fact Theory and the Necessary Universe Theory. Parrish is an accomplished philosopher with something important to say. ---Francis J.
