When there's murder at St. Swithun's Collegfe and there always is you can find Father Dietrich Shrader on the case, using his remarkable philosophical skills to unlock the darkest mysteries of life and death (usually the latter). In this first book of the entertaining series, Professor Shrader calls on the philosophical principle of Ockham's razor to solve wealthy college benefactor J. Garrison Nielson's murder. 
There are lots of laughs and a healthy dose of classical education mixed into this satirical jaunt through an imaginative and well-crafted murder mystery. From eccentric professors who spend years researching seemingly ueseless and obscure bits of knowledge, to air-headed students and petty administrators who can't even spell "scholarship" no one gets a PASS from the authors' humorous critique. 
The frolicsome pace and witty satire will turn the pages for you as Father Shrader sifts through centuries of wisdom to unravel another mystery tied tighter than a Marzipanian fisher's knot.

Truth and Religious Belief

This book contains a thorough and balanced series of dialogues introducing key topics in philosophy of religion, such as: the existence and nature of God, the problem of evil, religious pluralism, the nature of religious experience, immortality, and the meaning of life. A realistic cast of characters in a natural setting engages in a series of thought-provoking conversations; the dialogue format of these conversations captures typical student attitudes and questions concerning religious belief; allows comparison of important themes throughout the dialogues; encourages the interjection of insights, observations, questions, and objections; and introduces related points when they would naturally arise, instead of relegating them to a later chapter. As well as presenting a detailed and probing discussion, each dialogue includes a list of key terms, a set of study questions, and a bibliography - all of which make this an excellent text for courses in philosophy of religion and introductory philosophy classes.
