This collection of original articles, written by leading
contemporary philosophers of religion, is presented in celebration
of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the International Journal for
Philosophy of Religion. Following the Introduction, in which the
Editor develops the changing philosophical context for the creation
and development of the journal, articles by William Rowe, William
Alston and Bowman Clarke focus on the concept of God. Rowe
considers what conceptions of God may fit with the tradition of
American naturalism. Alston argues that irrealism is subversive of
the Christian conception of God, and Bowman Clarke analyzes two
different process conceptions of God and their metaphysical
frameworks. Next, Richard Swinburne argues that God can allow
creatures to suffer evils so long as on balance the package of
their lives is good. The next four essays are concerned with the
role of philosophical reason in the analysis of religion. John
Smith argues for a position in which philosophy and religion are
understood to be complementary and Robert Scharlemann analyzes and
expands upon Paul Tillich's understanding of philosophy of
religion. David Burrell takes up the question of the relation
between reason, faith and analogical language and Merold Westphal
explores the postmodern critique of metaphysics and religion. The
last two essays are concerned with the issue of religious
pluralism. Philip Quinn analyzes John Hick's and William Alston's
approach to religious diversity and argues for an approach which
does not impugn the rationality of those who lean towards thicker
religious phenomenologies and thinner theologies. Robert Neville
argues for a new and comparative approach to thephilosophy of
religion which takes into account our increased knowledge of the
major religious faiths. The book also includes a twenty-five year
index of articles and reviews published in the International
Journal for Philosophy of Religion.
