There are deep and pervasive disagreements today in universities
and colleges, and popular culture in general, over the credibility
and value of belief in God. This has given rise to an urgent need
for a balanced, comprehensive, accessible resource book that can
inform the public and scholarly debate over theism. While scholars
with as diverse interests as Daniel Dennett, Terry Eagleton,
Richard Dawkins, Jurgen Habermas, and Rowan Williams have recently
contributed books to this debate, "theism" as a concept remains
poorly understood and requires a more thorough and systematic
analysis than it has so far received in any single volume. The
Routledge Companion to Theism addresses this need by investigating
theism's history as well as its relationship to inquiry in the
sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and to its wider
cultural contexts. The contents are not confined within the
philosophy of religion or even within the more expansive borders of
philosophy. Rather, The Routledge Companion to Theism investigates
its subject through the lens of a wide variety of disciplines and
explores the ramifications of theism considered as a way of life as
well as an intellectual conviction. The five parts of the volume
indicate its inclusive scope: I. What is Theism?; II. Theism and
Inquiry; III. Theism and the Socio-Political Realm; IV. Theism and
Culture; V. Theism as a Way of Life. The result is a well ordered
and thorough collection that should provide a wide spectrum of
readers with a better understanding of a subject that's much
discussed, but frequently misunderstood. As the editors note in
their Introduction, while stimulating and informing the
contemporary debate, a key aim of the volume is to open new avenues
of inquiry into theism and thereby to encourage further research
into this vital topic. Comprised of 54 essays by leading scholars
in philosophy, history, theology, religious studies, political
science, education and sociology, The Routledge Companion to Theism
promises to be the most useful, comprehensive resource on an
emerging subject of interest for students and scholars.
