Daniel A. Dombrowski is Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University.

"…this book will open up a broader conversation in which analytic philosophers of religion and Hartshornians can jointly participate!" — International Studies in Philosophy"The book recontextualizes and resituates Charles Hartshorne's contributions to philosophical theology within the frame of reference of contemporary anglo-American analytic thought and opens a dialogue between these two traditions that would enrich the quality of philosophical reflection in both. This is a worthy goal, and Dombrowski sets about it with a clarity of vision and firmness of purpose that is admirable. The book is methodically organized and clearly argued. The author shows himself familiar not only with the details of Hartshorne's corpus, but also with a wide range of writings by all the major figures in mainstream contemporary philosophical thought who have devoted their attention to philosophical theism and the problem of God. He is thus able to sustain an elaborate dialectic involving this wide array of scholars, usually treated in logical sequence, but sometimes engaged in a larger, multifaceted discussion with one another and with Hartshorne. What is learned from these discussions is finally brought to bear upon a number of pressing existential questions in the fields of ethics and applied moral philosophy, rescuing the whole treatment from the realm of a purely theoretical abstraction. These are laudable achievements." — George R. Lucas, Jr., Georgetown University
