Religion is basic to the human condition, according to this
philosophy of religion from a pragmatist's perspective. While
pragmatist thinkers have often been cool to religious claims,
Robert Cummings Neville holds that a theology of truth can emerge
from this tradition. Standing against the typical nominalist view
that regards religious claims as concepts or structures of
language, Neville argues that there can be significant and
well-tested hypotheses about what is true in religious matters. He
brings this theology to bear on questions of God, divine creation,
divine nature and will, and eternity. Using the work of pragmatists
Peirce andWhitehead in particular to ground his philosophy of
religion, Neville surveys a wide swath of twentieth-century
theology and current trends, from Barth and Tillich to liberal and
postliberal theology, systematic theology, concepts of God, and
approaches to scripture.
