Summary:

An exchange of letters between two characters on the existence of God, this work provides a cumulative case for Theism (the belief that God exists). Chapter by chapter, theism is compared with Naturalism, concluding that Theism (on balance) provides an explanation of the world and human life than does Naturalism.
