'In this meticulous investigation into Hick's pluralist philosophy of religion, Eddy shows the pathway along which Hick has traveled from his earliest pre-pluralist days to his current model of pluralism.' Religious Studies Review 'Paul Rhodes Eddy's work is an achievement in Hick studies. The author offers a fair and balanced perspective on Hick's evolving and, sometimes, speculative thought. Eddy's John Hick's Pluralist Philosophy of World Religions is the most up to date source to consult regarding the philosophical and theological development of Hick's religious pluralism.' The Heythrop Journal
