Religious beliefs are deeply connected to and expressive of
religious life. Yet mainstream philosophy of religion has primarily
focused on the truth and justification of religious beliefs. This
is the first collection to acknowledge the vital role practice
plays in shaping what we believe. Emerging and established voices
across different philosophical traditions come together to consider
public worship from perspectives such as trauma and social
ontology, sound and silence, knowledge and hope. They use of
liturgy as a lens to view embodied religious practice,
intrinsically connecting religious rituals to human existence and
cutting across the so-called 'analytic-continental' divide. Case
studies, taken from Christianity, offer analyses that address power
structures associated with modes of knowing. The purpose is not to
reject what has gone before but to expand the focus of philosophy
of religion. This approach lays the groundwork for investigations
into how beliefs are situated in our theological, moral, and social
frameworks. For any philosophy of religion student or scholar
interested in how thinking and living well are intimately related,
this is a go-to resource. It takes seriously the importance of
historical religious traditions and communities, opening the space
for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary debates.
