I want to read books on monotheistic religions and theology. Books that try to demonstrate the existence of god and books which try to do exactly the opposite.

The Perennial Philosophy should give you a broad overview of mystic traditions.

Just read the Bible and Christian theology like Augustine and Aquinas and then stuff like Hume and Kant if you want the opposing perspective. I don't know why you even posted this. This is just a google search question.

102:6.8.To science God is a possibility, to psychology a desirability, to philosophy a probability, to religion a certainty, an actuality of religious experience. Reason demands that a philosophy which cannot find the God of probability should be very respectful of that religious faith which can and does find the God of certitude. Neither should science discount religious experience on grounds of credulity, not so long as it persists in the assumption that man's intellectual and philosophic endowments emerged from increasingly lesser intelligences the further back they go, finally taking origin in primitive life which was utterly devoid of all thinking and feeling.


102:6.10
The higher any scientist progresses in his chosen science, the more will he abandon the theories of materialistic fact in favor of the cosmic truth of the dominance of the Supreme Mind. Materialism cheapens human life; the gospel of Jesus tremendously enhances and supernally exalts every mortal. Mortal existence must be visualized as consisting in the intriguing and fascinating experience of the realization of the reality of the meeting of the human upreach and the divine and saving downreach.
