Nothing new - Collins collected essays from a multitude of old and modern thinkers; but I like his approach to modern issues of faith, so I think I'll enjoy the ride.
A collection of passages from a range of authors in regards to many of the questions that come in terms of faith-- faith as reasonable, demonstrations of God's existence, how God can allow suffering, the irrationality of unbelief, and other such themes. Collected authors range from Plato and Augustine to Keller and Plantinga.
A useful collection if you do not already own the "original" books from whence the passages come. ( )
