Focusing on the contemporary experience of cultural and religious
pluralism, the authors in this volume work toward a reconception of
the basic concepts in philosophy of religion—the idea of God and
the religious ways of knowing that idea—as historically dynamic.
Eliot Deutsch argues that aesthetic and religious considerations
are not peripheral to philosophy but are at the heart of the
philosophic enterprise. Cornel West shows how recent developments
in American philosophy, particularly in the work of Quine, Goodman,
and Sellars, have opened up the possibility of a historicist
philosophy of religion. After reviewing some of the fundamental
defenses for belief in God in his neoclassical theism, Charles
Hartshorne elaborates the argument from order and the argument from
the rational aim. J.N. Findlay insists that the philosophy of
religion is itself part of religious knowing, and so, that there
can be no radical distinction between philosophic method and
personal religious belief. Ninian Smart proposes a “soft
epistemology” in dealing with religious matters. Anthony Flew and
Kai Nielsen represent longstanding criticism of the philosophy of
religion. Naomi R. Goldenberg looks for a salvific religious
message in psychoanalysis and feminism. Gordon D. Kaufman’s
“Reconceiving God for a Nuclear Age” criticizes traditional
conceptions of God from within the Christian tradition. In a study
of meaninglessness in the modern world, Wolfhart Pannenberg argues
that religious consciousness deals explicitly with the totality of
meaning implicit in all everyday experience. Langdon Gilkey
considers the creationist controversy as it was argued in the
Arkansas courts in 1981. Leroy S. Rouner examines the significance
of Tillich’s doctrine of the Fall as a contribution to
interreligious understanding. Jurgen Moltmann finds in Ernst
Bloch’s atheism a particular challenge to Jewish and Christian
theology.
