?Gotz digs deeply into faith to reveal its inner nature. He begins
with an examination of how, via Godel's theorem, the open-endedness
of all truth systems generates paradoxes.... An excellent text for
undergraduate courses dealing with faith. As it stands it is a
wonderful guide for those who teach such courses; there is much to
be mined from it. Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through
faculty.?-Choice
