Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐For those of higher learning, this is a book that will explain how the philosophers from Plato to Leibniz speak of the cosmological argument even when the early philosophers were not even intending to prove theism.As one who has little training in philosophy and the cosmological argument, I found this book extremely helpful. From the beginning, in the preface, Craig simply summarizes the cosmological concept in a few points, and he explains the strengths and weakness of the book itself. As for the rest of the book, Craig is great at bringing the arguments of the philosopher into both the context of the times of the philosopher and the matter of theism. If the essay discussion of the arguments seem confusing, Craig outlines the argument after each discussion to summarize the points. By reading this book with patience and an application of logic one can discover the causes from the natural world that point towards God and the character of God.

⭐Comprehensive and rigorous (and a goof reference if one is interested in such cosmological arguments)

⭐This books is great in multiple ways. First of all, it presents all of the versions of the argument spoken about in the text in a way that will deepen one’s understanding of the cosmological arguments that have been given by the great thinkers through history. Second, it will spark one’s interest in researching the topic even further. Third, it is a great companion book to any philosophy of religion course that takes a look at the cosmological argument. As a student of philosophy, I give it two thumbs up.

⭐I like the way William Lane Craig has wrote the book it is so clear and easy to understand. He has also covered the issues he discussing adequately i feel.
