Is there a God? What is the evidence for belief in such a being? What is God like? Or, is God a figment of human inspiration? How do we know that such a being might not exist? Should belief or disbelief in God's existence make a difference in our opinions and moral choices, in the way we see ourselves and relate to those around us?
These are fundamental questions, and their answers have shaped individual lives, races, and nations throughout history. On March 24, 1988, at the University of Mississippi, J.P. Moreland, a leading Christian philosopher and ethicist, and Kai Nielsen, one of today's best-known atheist philosophers, went head-to-head over these questions.
Does God Exist? records their entire lively debate and includes questions from the audience, the debaters' answers, and the responses of four recognized scholars - William Lane Craig, Antony Flew, Dallas Willard, and Keith Parsons. Noted author and philosopher Peter Kreeft has written an introduction, concluding chapter, and appendix - all designed to help readers decide for themselves whether God is fact or fantasy.

The Contributors win
By K.H.
I've always eagerly read, listen, and disucussed this very serious matter of ultimate questions: Does God Exist? This book is well edited by Peter Kreeft. Unlike many books of this sort, Kreeft's introduction aids the reader into the debate and if one is new to the questions of philosophy, the background provided become even more important. The debate itself is average. Even though I admire JP Moreland and think he is a great Christian theist, he would receive an average rating. Kai Nielson, however, does a poor job and I agree with another reviewer that Moreland would have been better "stacked" against Keith Parson, one of the book's contributors.
The book's strength are the writings from the editor (Kreeft) and the contributors (Christians: Craig and Willard/Atheist: Flew and Parsons). The contributions are thought provoking and the writers takle the subject head on. Even though I'm parcell to Dr Craig, I think all the contributors did an outstanding job in analyzing the debate. For their comments alone, this book is well worth the time and price.

An interesting, but not spectacular, debate.
By Kyle Deming
In "Does God Exist", J.P. Moreland and Kai Nielsen debate the same topic, but end up talking past eachother most of the time.
Unfortunately, each individual chapter within the book is much too short for anybody to establish much of a case for anything. This is probably the biggest flaw of the book- for it leads to some mediocre exchanges. Despite this limitation, however, some fairly important issues are discussed.
J.P. Moreland presents a fairly strong case for the existence of God by way of the Cosmological and Teleological Argument, and Nielsen barely offers a rebuttal in return. On the other hand, Nielsen offers the Incoherency Argument, in which God is alleged to be an incoherent concept. In my opinion, this is a bad argument, but Moreland doesn't really offer much of a rebutall either. It seems as though both Moreland and Nielsen are arguing in completely different ways and, as Craig notes, there is very little "clash" as a result.
The four extra participants, however, do pick up the slack a little bit. Flew and Parsons (atheist) actually offer some rebutall to Moreland's arguments, which Moreland gets to respond to later in the book (successfully, I think). Craig offers a very level-headed and fair analysis of the debate, while offering additional support for the Teleological argument. Willard's essay is nicely written, although it seems to be a bit off-topic, as he presents his own case for belief rather than analyzing what was already said by Moreland and Nielsen.
Overall, "Does God Exist" is a worthwhile, but not essential, read. There are much better debate books to be found.

A must for those who likes to think about fundamental issues
By A Customer
This book is really a must for anyone who is open-minded and interested in religion and deep, ultimate questions. It is not only of the highest philosophical qualtiy but is also fun and thrilling to read, as one becomes fascinated by the debate.
This debate uniquely features some of the most famous philosophers of religions, the Atheists Nielsen and Flew.Both have a career of active and brilliant atheism, especially Nielsen, who is the most brilliant Atheist since the death of Mackie.
On the Theist side, Moreland plays the major role. Moreland uses excellent arguments, but makes a few minor mistakes. These mistakes are fortunately corrected by Craig, the most brilliant Theist philosopher. Actually the arguments that Moreland uses stem from Craig's research work (Kalam cosmological argument, teleology, resurrection of Christ...) and the Christians would have been much better represented if Craig had had the major role instead of repeating and correcting Moreland. (See Craig's book: "Reasonable faith". the books of Moreland and J. P. Geisler should also be consulted). The presentation of the Kalam argument, of the design argument and of the resurrection of Christ are compelling. On the other hand , the argument of religious experience is subjective and worthless. The contribution of Dallas Willard is disappointing, he kind of simply restates the points in a more intuitive, less formal way.
On the Atheist side Nielsen is very well completed by Flew. Nielsen major's point is to show that the concept of God is meaningless and is very smart in not trying to argue afterwards that "God" does not exist, which would refute his own point about the meaningless of "God". We can see here how Nielsen is superior to other famous Atheist philosophers such as M. Martin, who in his book "Atheism: a philosophical justification" first argues that the word "God" is meaningless, and then ridiculously argues that "God" does not exist! Flew does a good job of critizing some of the attributes of God, yet not His existence. Parson is very disappointing, attacking the design argument with a myth like the theory of evolution (ignoring that it is disproved by paleontology, embryology, biochemistry, see the books of Michael Denton, Michael Behe or Philip Johnson...). He accuses the Christians of scientific ignorance, yet naively thinks that life appeared through processes of natural selection whereas such were impossible before the apparition of life. Parson also grossly fails to understand the time maths of the Kalam argument, and his misunderstanding is ridiculed by Moreland in his closing speech. (Intelligent Atheist refutes this argument, see the debate between Craig and Smith in " Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology").
There is also another and shorter part in the book which is a debate between Nielsen and Moreland on morality. Nielsen's point is that one can simply be a moral person without being religious. Moreland argues that the tiny, ephemeral Atheists cannot rationally ground any morality in a huge, blind, uncaring and purposeless universe. Neither can Atheists be rational in helping other people if it is not beneficial to them. Moreland wins easily and brillantely here, but I do not know if it is possible for an Atheist to have any rational basis for ultimate morality (the good of humans), unless one has "an unjustifiable bias towards one's own species" as Moreland points out.
Conclusion: This debate, which features 6 of the most prominent Atheist and Theist philosophers is absolutely unique. It is without comparaison with the old (1948), famous debate between Copleston and Russel. This book is absolutely worth buying. For those who are not scared by a heavy discussion, I can recommend the debate between William Craig and the Atheist Smith in " Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology", 1993
