Faith, Scepticism and Personal Identity

Todd Pettigrew teaches English at McMaster University.

This volume of 13 essays on questions raised by the work of Terence
Penelhum, a distinguished philosopher of religion, opens new avenues of
thought on issues of religion and the self. Reincarnation and the
perception of God are among the issues discussed and debated, following
the book’s lucid introduction. Readers are cautioned that this is not
a book that will be easily enjoyed by those without some background in
the philosophy of religion. A working knowledge of the philosophy of
David Hume, for example, is a practical necessity.
