About Frenchboro Books Maine, United States
We handle books from academic libraries (from institutions and scholars), both deaccessions and gift books from alumni, and from closed Seminary Bookstores. Our original location was on a remote island in Maine, the Island of Frenchboro, and thus the origin of our name. For a time we operated a brick and mortar store in Bangor four days a week, and then moved that to the Antique Marketplace on Main Street in Bangor, which still caries some of our stock. The major stock of our business is now housed in Louisville, Colorado. Our listings can include a wide range of material, but the majority are non-fiction, scholarly works.
Our intent is to provide exceptional service in selling significant books, accurately described, at very competitive prices. Orders are generally processed and shipped within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavier, or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Returns are accepted for items that are not as described. Books may be returned for other reasons after you have contacted us with your request and we have agreed. International Delivery cannot be guaranteed--the purchaser must request and pay for insurance. All returns must be made with the book in the same condition that it was shipped and in an equivalent shiping container. We wrap all books in newsprint and mail them in cardboard mailers or Priority Mail packaging.
From the rear cover
In this provocative volume, leading philosophers reflect on what belief in God, or its absence, means for the subject and what difference it makes to the flow and perceived significance of someone's life.
Contributors include:
- Sir Anthony Kenny on the idea of 'devout agnosticism'
- Alvin Plantinga on the compatibility of science and religion
- John Haldane on the human desire for God
- Richard Norman on atheistic interpretations of religious experience
- David Benatar on the value of religious observance irrespective of belief
- John Cottingham on the role of emotions and habits of virtue in the adoption of a religious outlook.
The different perspectives of the authors, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, atheist and agnostic make for an unusually stimulating juxtaposition of views.
