Opis

This volume draws on what is educational in religion to create a vision of freedom and justice grounded in learning, and explores a modern philosophical conception of God within religion and education. It conceptualizes the idea of modern metaphysics as a rational yet non-foundational way of conceiving truth, and ultimately begs the question: how is God to be known in and by the modern mind?

Recenzje

"This volume is well worth the read as an overview of historical thought for readers interested in the history of thought as it pertains to metaphysics and religion." - Rob Foster, International Journal of Christianity & Education
