Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a thorough and balanced series of dialogues introducing key topics in philosophy of religion, such as: the existence and nature of God, the problem of evil, religious pluralism, the nature of religious experience, immortality, and the meaning of life. A realistic cast of characters in a natural setting engages in a series of thought-provoking conversations; the dialogue format of these conversations captures typical student attitudes and questions concerning religious belief; allows comparison of important themes throughout the dialogues; encourages the interjection of insights, observations, questions, and objections; and introduces related points when they would naturally arise, instead of relegating them to a later chapter. As well as presenting a detailed and probing discussion, each dialogue includes a list of key terms, a set of study questions, and a bibliography - all of which make this an excellent text for courses in philosophy of religion and introductory philosophy classes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the collected papers of Alan Donagan on topics in the philosophy of religion. Donagan was respected as a leading figure in American moral philosophy. His untimely death in 1991 prevented him from collecting his philosophical reflections on religion, particularly Christianity, and its relation to ethics and other concerns. This collection, therefore, constitutes the fullest expression of Donagan's thought on Christianity and ethics, in which it is possible to discern the outlines of a coherent, overarching theory. Editor Anthony Perovich has supplied a useful introduction, which brings Donagan's work into focus and brings out the unifying themes in the essays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A striking feature of the current philosophical scene is the division between those philosophers of religion primarily associated with the American Philosophical Association and those primarily associated with the American Academy of Religion. This difference is loosely correlated with twoothers: the comparative dominance of analytic philosophy in the APA and of hermeneutical philosophy in the AAR, and the greater visibility of traditional theists in the APA. In this book eight prominent philosophers of religion from these organizations explore the historical, cultural, andphilosophical roots of these differences, their connections, and the prospects for rapprochement.

Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, scientific accounts of religion have received a great deal of scholarly and popular attention both because of their intrinsic interest and because they are widely seen as potentially constituting a threat to the religion they analyse. The Believing Primate aims to describe and discuss these scientific accounts as well as to assess their implications. The volume begins with essays by leading scientists in the field, describing these accounts and discussing evidence in their favour. Philosophical and theological reflections on these accounts follow, offered by leading philosophers, theologians, and scientists. This diverse group of scholars address some fascinating underlying questions: Do scientific accounts of religion undermine the justification of religious belief? Do such accounts show religion to be an accidental by-product of our evolutionary development? And, whilst we seem naturally disposed toward religion, would we fare better or worse without it? Bringing together dissenting perspectives, this provocative collection will serve to freshly illuminate ongoing debate on these perennial questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coleridge's relation to his German contemporaries constitutes the toughest problem in assessing his standing as a thinker. For the last half-century this relationship has been described, ultimately, as parasitic. As a result, Coleridge's contribution to religious thought has been seen primarily in terms of his poetic genius. This book revives and deepens the evaluation of Coleridge as a philosophical theologian in his own right. Coleridge had a critical and creative relation to, and kinship with, German Idealism. Moreover, the principal impulse behind his engagement with that philosophy is traced to the more immediate context of English Unitarian-Trinitarian controversy of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The book re-establishes Coleridge as a philosopher of religion and as a vital source for contemporary theological reflection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Philosophy of Life: Reflections on the Truths of Religion The author of "The Christian Philosophy of Life" has reached the close of his earthly pilgrimage. "Finita sunt omnia. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti! Amen?" Such were his last words. On October 18, 1899, death came to end his sharp, prolonged sufferings. It found him an exile at Valkenburg, a small town in the Netherlands, and his mortal remains have been laid to rest in foreign soil, but we trust that his soul is at home once more in the land where light and peace reign eternally. Tilmann Pesch was born in Cologne on February 1, 1836, and entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus at Munster on October 15, 1852. He was consecrated to the priesthood in January 1866, by that splendid champion of the liberty of the Church, Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler, in the chapel of the episcopal palace at Munich, and made his solemn vows at Aix-la-Chapelle on February 2, 1871. For the space of many years he filled the post of lecturer on philosophy, first at Maria-Laach, and subsequently at Blijenbeck, in Holland. The numerous works for which we are indebted to his pen form no mean contribution to Catholic letters, and attest alike his intellectual gifts and industry, whilst through the medium of his spiritual writings, sermons and conferences, he has brought counsel and comfort to many souls. Wide learning, in his case, was accompanied by a childlike humility, and his gentle, benignant spirit knew neither fear nor compromise wherever principles were at stake.

These forward-looking essays address the new thinkers and movements that have gained prominence since the generation of Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, and Levinas and how they will reshape Continental philosophy of religion in the years to come. They look at the ways concepts such as liberation, sovereignty, and post-colonialism have engaged this new generation with political theology and the new pathways of thought that have opened in the wake of speculative realism and recent findings in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology. Readers will discover new directions in this challenging and important area of philosophical inquiry.
