Book synopsis

Philosophy of religion has experienced a renaissance in recent times, paralleling the resurgence in public debate about the place and value of religion in contemporary Western societies. In particular, there has been vigorous debate about connections between science and religion, the scientific study of religion, the role of religion in ethics, the role of religion in politics, and various metaphysical and epistemological problems that are raised by the diversity of contemporary philosophical opinion concerning religion. The 'Handbook' provides an exploration of the key areas of debate in contemporary philosophy of religion, with careful attention paid both to the diversity of theoretical approaches and to the diversity of the religions of the world. Each essay focuses on an aspect of contemporary philosophy of religion, presenting the cutting-edge of ideas and illuminating areas of debate. Together, the essays offer readers an informed understanding of the current state of play in the liveliest areas of contemporary philosophy of religion.
