Synopsis
This book takes the form of a dialogue between the philosopher of religion John Hick and someone - anyone - who is a religious sceptic or is somewhere between faith and doubt. Neither of them is dogmatic and their discussion is honest and fair. It covers a range of questions, including:
Can God's existence be proved?
Is religious experience authentic, particularly in the light of modern neuroscience?
Can there be a good God, or a friendly universe, when there is so much pain and suffering?
Can there be a life after death?
Between Faith and Doubt also includes some fascinating autobiographical revelations, of Hick's evangelical conversion and subsequent development to much more liberal beliefs; of being involved in a heresy trial; of being in an earthquake; his own powerful religious experience and witnessing a materializing séance.
