Description
"Philosophy of religion," in recent decades, has been the study of the rationality, coherence, and truth-claims of classical theism. Yet philosophical reflection on religion has included much more than this: it has been the creative construction of a religious philosophy; it has critically examined claims for religious authority and certainty; it has explored the principles underlying religious thought and life; it has exposed domination, deception, and illusion, it has explored the subjective, practical, and spiritual dimensions of religion.
This collection brings together essays by a variety of contemporary philosophers who are working in this broader tradition: Pamela Sue Anderson, Gary Banham, Bettina Bergo, John Caputo, Matthew Haltman, Wayne Hudson, Grace Jantzen, Donna Jowett, Greg Sadler, Graham Ward, and Edith Wyschogrod.
