Stenmark does not say it quite this directly, but the goal of the book (winner of a 1995 Templeton Prize) is to defend religion against those who declare it to be irrational. He does not seek to show that any specific religious beliefs are true, but to show that the overall believing practices of religious people are rational, even in cases where in fact their beliefs may be wrong. Religion has a larger aim than just possessing truth and avoiding error. Religion is a whole life-view, a set of beliefs, values, and practices that has as its main aim to address the existential needs of persons to find meaning in life in the face of profound challenges posed by death, suffering, love, moral ambiguity
