Modern developments in philosophy have provided us with tools,
logical and methodological, that were not available to Medieval
thinkers - a development that has its dangers as well as
opportunities. Modern tools allow one to penetrate old texts and
analyze old problems in new ways, offering interpretations that the
old thinkers could not have known. But unless one remains sensitive
to the fact that language has undergone changes, bringing with it a
shift in the meaning of terminology, one can easily perpetrate an
anachronism. Yet there is a growing need to bring modern tools and
to bear on the struggle for greater understanding of the problems
studied and the solutions found by the ancient scholars. If we
remain sensitive to the dangers, this openness to new methods can
be expected to widen our perspectives and deepen our knowledge of
old material. The focus in the present volume is on problems in
Medieval and contemporary philosophy of religion.
