Reviews
this collection successfully clarifies the advantages and disadvantages of some of the most significant alternative concepts of God over the traditional theistic concept. It opens up a way for some concepts of God from Eastern religions or mystical interpretations of Western religions to come under discussion in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion that is currently under the dominance of the traditional Abrahamic (or, more precisely, Christian) conception of God. The collection is highly recommended to everybody interested in philosophy of religion. All the articles are worth reading * Mohammad Saleh Zarepour, Philosophy in Review *
