Focusing on what makes Jesus important in Christianity, Robert Cummings Neville, a leading philosophical theologian, presents and illustrates a theory of religious symbols wherein God is directly engaged in symbolically shaped thinking and practice. Moreover, Christian symbolism is shown to be entirely compatible with a late-modern scientific world view. This major work may affect belief in Jesus, and will be of value to students, academics, clergy with theological training, and others grappling with the meaning and importance of religious symbols in our age.

Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed
theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgments. Yet,
despite the important role intuitions play in philosophy, there has
been little reflection on fundamental questions concerning the sort
of data intuitions provide, how they are supposed to lead us to the
truth, and why we should treat them as important. In addition,
recent psychological research seems to pose serious challenges to
traditional intuition-driven philosophical inquiry. Rethinking
Intuition brings together a distinguished group of philosophers and
psychologists to discuss these important issues. Students and
scholars in both fields will find this book to be of great value.
This is a philosophic study of some aspects of spiritual
development, broadly defined. Professor Neville has been influenced
significantly by comparison between several of the world's great
spiritual traditions, and he has tried to be faithful to
experiences in those traditions. Readers whose interest in
spiritual development come out of non-Western traditions will find
this book congenial. But this is a philosophical study, and the
book puts forward a philosophical theory of spiritual development,
paying attention to personal, social, and metaphysical concerns,
and analyzing three central images of spiritual "heroism." The
central contribution attempted here is a way of understanding the
quest for spiritual liberation or perfection through the models of
the spiritual soldier, the sage, and the saint. At times the
argument aims, not just to understand, but to promote spiritual
liberation, and to do so through philosophic understanding.
