Biography

Klaas J. Kraay is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. He has published articles in such journals as Philosophical Studies, Erkenntnis, American Philosophical Quarterly, the Canadian Journal of Philosophy, the International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, Religious Studies, and Faith and Philosophy.

"This is a valuable collection of state-of-the-art essays on a timely topic. Each essay has material worth considering and each bibliography is a useful resource. I look forward to those working on the topics addressing some of the issues that newcomers may find to be barriers to entry to the philosophical and theological reflections contained in the book."--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"The overall quality of the essays in this volume is excellent. They all make interesting and unique contributions to the multiverse literature ... This volume is important to any philosopher interested in the multiverse. I also predict that it will become required reading for any philosopher of religion wanting to research the connection(s) between God and the multiverse. I highly recommend it."--Faith and Philosophy
