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.

Is the road to hell paved with good intentions? Or maybe it's paved with questionable actions. Perhaps there is no hell, never mind a road to it.Phil has a problem, and he calls his two best friends to join him from the other side of the world, as he attempts to determine the way forward. Phil presses his friends Max and Michal to provide him with perspective, and maybe a healthy dose of hope or faith as well.This is a tale of tea, sake, bourbon, rain, golden fields, special guest stars, ants, omelets, and most importantly, potholes -- both the literal potholes of the neglected road to Phil's ryokan and metaphorical potholes of doubt as the three friends struggle to find truth. Along the way, all three will have their beliefs challenged by inner demons -- as well as by others who make a more tangible appearance -- as they try to find the answer to Phil's question, "What do you believe -- and why?"
