Is there a God? Are morality, truth, beauty, even reality itself objective and unchanging, or relative to a particular time, place or person? Is there an afterlife?

These are some of the fascinating questions explored in the philosophical novel The Rashomon Tea and Sake Shop. Co-author Carol Quinn has drawn on her many years of teaching philosophy at Metropolitan State University of Denver to frame age-old questions in a new and exciting way. Students and general readers alike will enjoy this highly readable introduction to core questions in the philosophy of religion. This special edition includes a number of features designed to enhance the reading and learning experience, including questions for discussion and review, an index of philosophers, theologians, writers and other thinkers cited in the text, and extensive notes, references and suggestions for further reading.
