Reviews
"This is an excellent collection. It contains sophisticated but accessible essays by top-flight philosophers on the central topics of philosophy of religion. Highly recommended!"
John Martin Fischer, University of California, Riverside

"This is a superb, comprehensive, indispensable guide by outstanding philosophers of religion today. Each of the contributions is accessible, lucid, and rigorous. This collection puts the reader in touch with cutting-edge work in the field."
Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College

"If you thought a guide was someone who leads you down safe and well-trodden paths, then this guide will make you change your view. These are state-of-the-art discussions of the central issues in the tremendously lively field of contemporary philosophy of religion. Not only do they lucidly capture where the discussions are at, they carry them forward in imaginative and significant ways."
Nicholas Wolterstorff, Yale University

"The Guide contains 14 new essays by established philosophers...all are topics of critical interest wherever the philosophy of religion is taught and studied, while the essays will also be of interest to professionals (philosophers, theologians, lecturers) as exemplars of the application of philosophical method"
Stuart Hannabuss, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen

"The Guide is an attractive and topical work that will sharpen up the reasoning skills of anyone reading it, particularly any theologian grown complacent on passive belief."
