Opis

The contributors consider the idea of Christian philosophy in light of current debates in such areas as philosophy of religion, moral theory, epistemology, and metaphysics in order to show that these important historical questions continue to press upon us today.

Recenzje

This is a useful and thought-provoking set of essays. I gleaned something useful from each one, which is unusual in a volume of collected essays. Welcome is the addition of Jewish, agnostics and atheist responses — these help to identify some blind spots we are all prone to. The essays serve to illustrate the diverse views that claim to be Christian philosophy. They ably illustrate the state of play within Christian philosophy.
