Opis

This collection brings together broad perspectives exploring the relationship between theism and the idea that multiple universes exist beyond our own, thoroughly assessing the idea that a multiverse is to be expected if theism is true. This book provides a definitive contemporary treatment of the claim that if God exists, there are many universes.
