Faith, Freedom, and Rationality

Philosophy of Religion Today

Jeff Jordan and Daniel Howard-Snyder - Contributions by William P. Alston; Robert Audi; J A. Cover; Martin Curd; Norman Kretzmann; George Nakhnikian; John O'Leary-Hawthorne; Philip L. Quinn; James F. Ross; Eleonore Stump; Peter van Inwagen and William J. Wainwright

The philosophy of religion, once considered a deviation from an otherwise analytically rigorous discipline, has flourished over the past two decades. This collection of new essays by twelve distinguished philosophers of religion explores three broad themes: religious attitudes of belief, acceptance, and love; human and divine freedom; and the rationality of religious belief.
