About the Author
Paul Draper is Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University, where he has taught since the fall of 2006. Prior to that, he taught for 19 years at Florida International University in Miami. He has also had three fellowships at the Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame, including the Alvin Plantinga Fellowship in 2010-2011. Most of his published work is on the problem of evil and other topics in the philosophy of religion. J. L. Schellenberg is Professor of Philosophy at Mount Saint Vincent University and Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at Dalhousie University. He is the author of Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason and of a trilogy on the philosophy of religion: Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion, The Wisdom to Doubt: A Justification of Religious Skepticism, and The Will to Imagine: A Justification of Skeptical Religion. The ideas of the trilogy, and his earlier work on hiddenness, are made generally accessible in two recent short works from Oxford: Evolutionary Religion and The Hiddenness Argument: Philosophy's New Challenge to Belief in God.
Reviews
this collection of essays should interest anyone looking beyond the current methods and topics of the field. * Luis Pinto de Sa, Saint Louis University, Religious Studies Review *
There is much that is of interest in the thirteen essays of this volume * Adam Green, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
[T]he vision of philosophy of religion that is being proposed herecross-cultural normative arguments about what is real and what is valuableis arguably what people today need most. Philosophy of religion understood in this way is not Christian apologetics but rather a crucial aspect of living with diversity. A philosophy of religion which lives up to its name ought to be defended as the center of the humanities, and this volume provides multiple tools with which to build such a defense. * Kevin Schilbrack, Reading Religion *
