’A very interesting and varied set of contributions to contemporary debates within the Philosophy of Religion.’ T.J. Mawson, Oxford University, UK ’This fine collection of papers from a religiously diverse and international group of philosophers provides a solid sample of the topics and themes in contemporary philosophy of religion. Including established and newer scholars, the anthology covers a variety of issues, from standard concerns about the epistemology of religion to newer reflections on cognitive science. Experts in the field and those newly interested in these topics will find much to learn from and ponder in its pages.’ Alan G. Padgett, Luther Seminary, USA
