'a book for intelligent students who want to expand what they know of belief and unbelief. Whether they are believers or not they will find after reading God Matters that they have sounder reasons for their position and a lot more questions.'
Dr Graham English "Another inspirational book from team Vardy and my ‘A’ Level course on a plate... ... Read morea breath of fresh air... a unique contribution to what has latterly been a very boring bookshelf... Enjoy, I certainly did!"
Anne Needham "A must-read for Year 12 and 13 Philosophy of Religion students and their teachers, which will also be of great value for Undergraduate students..."
Dr Paul Rout OFM "To provide breadth, depth, rigour and accessibility all in one introductory text is quite an achievement, but it is one that Peter and Charlotte Vardy have managed. It really is an excellent read!"
Roger Meadowcroft "Once again Peter and Charlotte Vardy have done what so many teachers find so difficult - communicated complex philosophical and theological ideas with clarity, ease and a good deal of humour."
Catrina Young "It certainly made me think and I recommend this book to those people that are seeking a better understanding of the mysteries of life".
Diana Parsk "Exactly what I was hoping to find for my students to encourage and stimulate learning in this intellectually rigorous and demanding subject."
Christien Bembridge "The Vardys are gifted communicators and many have benefited from their excellent conferences. Now they have transferred their high standard of scholarship into this book and, as ever, all ideas are presented with clarity and precision. In a sea of introductory books, this is a very welcome development... 'God Matters' will prove to be the 'go to' book for both the seasoned teacher and the enquiring young philosopher. "
Tim Madeley This book is the embodiment of the authors; engaging and intellectually stimulating!"
Gerard McNulty "A perfect springboard from which to launch an essential journey to contemplate truth."
Janet Thomson "I loved this book. Not sure if a review can express how much I enjoyed it."
Gerard McNulty 'God Matters' is an excellent and thoroughly readable updated discussion of the arguments concerning the existence of God and the challenges to that belief. Abrahamic religious perspectives and relevant inputs from such authors as C.S.Lewis, Iris Murdoch and Dostoyevsky also enrich the debates. I would have really enjoyed reading such a work when I was an undergraduate and I'm sure it will be thoroughly appreciated by both sixth formers and undergraduate students of this subject area. Well done the Vardys once again!
