Reviews
Philosophies of Religion is a stunning intellectual achievement, from one of the world's pioneers in forging a properly global and critical path within philosophy of religion. This is the undergraduate textbook for which we've been desperately waiting. In a field plagued by parochialism and cultural innocence, Knepper is lighting the way forward, dragging all of us into a new era of enlightened research and teaching. Masterpiece! * Wesley J. Wildman, Professor of Philosophy, Theology, and Ethics, Boston University, USA *
Timothy Knepper offers a comprehensive and critical introduction to perennial philosophical questions addressed from diverse religious and intellectual perspectives. This outstanding textbook demonstrates how philosophy of religion should be studied and taught in the global age. * Yujin Nagasawa, H.G. Wood Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham, UK *
This is a voluminous, extremely well-organized and readable critical study of the world's major religions and some religions not usually considered major. ... It is difficult to imagine a more succinct but comprehensive, ordered, and accurate treatment of the philosophies of religion. * CHOICE *
