The papers in this collection are concerned with the epistemology
of religious belief. The contributors disagree on such issues as
whether philosophers have a role to play in determining the
reasonableness or intelligibility of religious beliefs, or whether
philosophy properly understood is a descriptive task. But all the
papers are informed by the belief that philosophical discussion
should proceed by giving attention to the character of the
religious beliefs and practices under consideration.
God is said to be Spirit, but the language of spirit is ignored in
contemporary philosophy of religion. As well as exploring the
notion of spirit in Hegel, Romanticism and Kierkegaard,
participants explore the view that God is a spirit without a body,
and the relations between "spirit" and "truth."
In this collection, distinguished theologians and philosophers of
religion explore the relation of key Biblical concepts to our
world. They examine a range of concepts, including authority, faith
and history, the historical Jesus, the resurrection and miracles.

Wittgenstein was one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth
century.A In this collection, distinguished Wittgenstein scholars
examine his legacy for the philosophy of religion by examining key
areas of his work:A Wittgenstein's Tractatus; Frazer's 'Golden
Bough'; and the implications of his later philosophy for the
understanding of religion. Assessments are also provided of the
philosophical and theological reception of his work. The collection
provides an invaluable resource for graduate and undergraduate
teaching of Wittgenstein in relation to religion.
In this, his final book, noted philosopher Ilham Dilman offers
sharp critiques of his major contemporaries. "Philosophy of
Criticism" is both the final word from a celebrated philosopher on
his distinguished career and an attempt, through critiques of his
major contemporaries, to explore the future of philosophy. Born in
Turkey, Ilham Dilman spent the majority of his working life
teaching philosophy in the United States and Great Britain and
published widely in moral philosophy and psychology, most notably
on Wittgenstein and Freud. After an autobiographical introduction,
in which Dilman reflects on how he came to become a philosopher, he
moves, chapter by chapter, into an incisive critique of key
contemporary thinkers and movements in philosophy. Dilman asks us
to review afresh the contributions of Dennett, Searle, Foot,
Davidson and Nozick to the modern debate. The result is a vital and
urgent engagement with the core questions of philosophy and a
re-instatement of the centrality of criticism in philosophy.
