Religion in Late Modernity runs against the grain of common
suppositions of contemporary theology and philosophy of religion.
Against the common supposition that basic religious terms have no
real reference but are mere functions of human need, the book
presents a pragmatic theory of religious symbolism in terms of
which the cognitive engagement of the Ultimate is of a piece with
the cognitive engagement of nature and persons. Throughout this
discussion, Neville develops a late-modern conception of God that
is defensible in a global theological public.
Against the common supposition that religion is on the retreat
in late modernity except in fundamentalist forms, the author argues
that religion in our time is a stimulus to religiously oriented
scholarship, a civilizing force among world societies, a foundation
for obligation in politics, a source for healthy social
experimentation, and the most important mover of soul.
