John Hick is considered to be one of the greatest living
philosophers of religion. Hick's philosophical journey has
culminated in the grand proposal that we should see all the major
world religions as equally valid responses to the same ultimate
reality (the 'Real'). This book presents a critical introduction to
John Hick's speculative theology and philosophy. The book begins
where Hick began, with the problems of religious language, and ends
where Hick is now, exploring the questions of religious plurality.
Incorporating early aspects that Hick himself would now wish to
qualify, as well as explanations that reflect Hick's present focus,
Cheetham offers some speculative reflections of his own on key
topics, highlighting Hick's influence on contemporary theology and
philosophy of religion. All those studying the work of this great
philosopher and theologian will find this new introduction offers
an invaluable overview along with fresh critical insight.
Exploring the different points of view and 'tones of voice' adopted
in theology for the meeting of religions, this book presents a
contemporary philosophical and theological engagement with key
issues of how different faiths might meet, of comparative
philosophy of religion, of the use of aesthetics, of
inter-religious ethics and issues relating to the self. Providing a
critical evaluation of contemporary liberal, post-liberal and
conservative voices, and an engagement with movements such as
Radical Orthodoxy and Scriptural Reasoning to mention a few, this
book highlights the use of the creative imagination and explores
new ideas for the meeting of religions.

The Early Formative Olmec are central in a wide variety of debates
regarding the development of Mesoamerican societies. A fundamental
issue in Olmec archaeology is the nature of interregional
interaction among contemporaneous societies and the possible Olmec
role in it. Previous debates have often not been informed by recent
research and data, often relying on materials lacking
archaeological context. In order to approach these issues from new
perspectives, this book introduces readers to the full spectrum of
the material culture of the Olmec and their contemporaries, relying
primarily on archaeological data, much of which has not been
previously published. For the first time, using a standard lexicon
to consider the nature of the interaction among Early Formative
societies, the authors, experts in diverse regions of Mesoamerican
art and archaeology, provide carefully considered contrasts and
comparisons that advance the understanding of the Early Formative
origins of social complexity in Mesoamerica.

Among contemporary Anglo-American philosophers and students there
is a growing awareness of the need to engage more both with
philosophical perspectives of other faith traditions and also the
distinctive continental tradition of philosophy. This important new
collection aims to engage philosophers from a variety of different
backgrounds and traditions (religious and non-religious) to
stimulate dialogue on philosophical method. The volume aims to ask
an emerging generation of philosophers who specialize in philosophy
of religion to write about their personal understanding of the
practice, method and future focus of the subject, with the ultimate
goal of illustrating why this expanding subject area is important.
In the well-worn debates about religious pluralism and the theology
of religions there have been many different rubrics used to account
for, comprehend, or engage with the religious other. This book is
chiefly a work of Christian theology and seeks to bring the
doctrine of creation and the theology of religions into dialogue
and in so doing it comes at things from a different direction than
other works. It contains an extensive exploration of the doctrine
of creation and asks how it might intervene distinctively in these
discourses to produce a new conceptual and practical topography. It
will consider inter-religious engagement from the perspective of
the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo that forms the dominant view in
the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. The book pays close
consideration to anthropology (i.e. creaturehood), the quotidian
and wisdom, the idea of 'sabbath,' human action and work, and
vivifying the immanent through a consideration of some
representative phenomenologists. The book will develop these ideas
in a more practical direction by considering sacraments and rituals
in the public sphere as well as attempting to describe the kind of
'creational politics' that might bring traditions into dialogue.
Whilst these themes challenge more conventional ways of considering
relations between religions, such themes - because they are
different from concerns commonly found in the literature - can also
be profitably engaged with across the spectrum of opinion (i.e.
exclusivist or pluralist etc.) Thus, whilst the position adopted in
this work is creatio ex nihilo part of the motivation is to review
the ways in which this focus helps to broaden rather than limit the
discussion.
Intercultural Theology offers a set of groundbreaking essays that
describe the nature of intercultural theology as a domain of
theology that pays particular attention to the identity of
non-western forms of Christianity in dialogue with western forms.
It is theological discourse engaged in multi-disciplinary dialogue
and therefore uses the insights from historical, socio-cultural,
inter-religious and empirical studies. Intercultural theology is a
development from previous discussions within mission studies,
contextual theology, studies in world Christianity and Third World
theology.
