Sommario/riassunto

Presents a defence of the traditional Christian belief in the reality of transcendent beings. This book gives priority to the investigation of belief as it arises out of human experience. It also presents an analysis of recorded 'encounters' dating back to biblical times, and constructs a case for religious belief on philosophical grounds.
