Composed in the classic dialogue form of the ancient Greeks, this final work from David Hume was published posthumously in 1779. Centering on three fictional characters who debate the nature of God s existence, each voice in the dialogue offers their own conception of God and his alleged attributes. Going so far as to consider arguments for and against God s existence, this controversial work remains an intriguing read for students of philosophy and theology alike.
