Philosophy of Religion in the Twenty-First Century [Hardcover]

This book offers the rare opportunity to assess, within a single volume, the leading schools of thought in contemporary philosophy of religion. Their exponents seek to meet objections made to their point of view and to relate it to the other schools represented. Further discussions between adherents of the different schools make it an ideal text for assessing the deep proximities and divisions which characterize contemporary philosophy of religion. The schools of thought represented are: Philosophical Theism, Reformed Epistemology, Wittgensteinianism, Postmodernism, Critical Theory and Process Thought.Acknowledgements Notes on the Contributors Introduction PART I: PHILOSOPHICAL THEISM Philosophical Theism; R.Swinburne Philosophical Theology at the End of the Century; W.J.Wainwright Voices in Discussion: D.Z.Phillips PART II: REFORMED EPITEMOLOGY Reformed Epistemology; N.Wolterstorff On Behalf of the Evidentialist: A Response to Wolterstorff; S.J.Wykstra Voices in Discussion; D.Z.Phillips PART III: WITTGENSTEIN AND WITTGENSTEINIANISM Wittgenstein and the Philosophy of Religion; S.Mulhall Wittgenstein and the Philosophy of Religion: A Reply to Stephen Mulhall; W.Gealy Voices in Discussion; D.Z.Phillips PART IV: POSTMODERNISM Messianic Postmodernism; J.D.Caputo The Other Without History and Society: A Dialogue with Derrida; A.K.Min Voices in Discussion; D.Z.Phillips PART V: CRITICAL THEORY Critical Theory and Religion; M.Lutz-Bachmann Critical Theory and Religion; M.Cooke Voices in Discussion; D.Z.Phillips PART VI: PROCESS THOUGHT Process Thought; J.B.Cobb, Jr Process Thought: A Response to John B.
