“Philosophy of religion,” in recent decades, has been the study of the rationality, coherence, and truth-claims of classical theism. Yet philosophical reflection on religion has included much more than this: it has been the creative construction of a religious philosophy; it has critically examined claims for religious authority and certainty; it has explored the principles underlying religious thought and life; it has exposed domination, deception, and illusion, it has explored the subjective, practical, and spiritual dimensions of religion.
This collection brings together essays by a variety of contemporary philosophers who are working in this broader tradition: Pamela Sue Anderson, Gary Banham, Bettina Bergo, John Caputo, Matthew Haltman, Wayne Hudson, Grace Jantzen, Donna Jowett, Greg Sadler, Graham Ward, and Edith Wyschogrod.
This anthology offers the reader a rich encounter with Continental philosophy of religion. In addition to including fine essays by well-known scholars, I commend Dr. Goodchild for introducing us to new voices in the field. Philosophers of religion of all stripes will be challenged by the fresh perspectives contained herein.---Ellen T. Armour, Rhodes College
The authors of these richly diverse essays in Continental philosophy show how contemporary engagement with religion, from whose depths emerged the rational critique of religious authority in the early modern world, is today contributing in fundamentally important ways to the critical renewal of reason, whose very authority has been so radically challenged in our own era.---Brayton Polka, York University
This new collection is an impressive showcase for some of the most innovative and provocative thinkers working in the Continental philosophy of religion today. It shows that the God question sis still alive and well–and kicking.---Richard Kearney, Boston College
