David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical classic that displays a powerful mastery of the critical thinking skills of reasoning and evaluation. What makes Hume's text a classic of reasoning, though, is less what he says, than how he says it. Hume's subject, the question of the existence and possible nature of God, was, and still is, a persistent topic of philosophical and theological debate.
