Description: "In this book Anthony Kenny revisits the Five Ways of Aquinas, considering them not so much as proofs of the existence of God but as definitions of the divine nature. He is in constant dialogue with Wittgenstein for, as Kenny writes, 'no man in recent years has surpassed him in devotion of sharp intelligence to the demarcation of the boundary between sense and nonsense'." "In his introduction, the author explains the autobiographical background to this important new work. For some years a Roman Catholic priest, he lost his faith and resigned from the priesthood. But, as this book demonstrates, he has never lost interest in the intellectual problems of theism and in the possibility of believing in God in a secular age."--Jacket.
