This is a collection of John Hick's essays on the understanding of the
world's religions as different human responses to the same ultimate
transcendent reality. He is in dialogue with contemporary philosophers
including Alvin Plantinga, Peter van Inwagen, D.Z. Phillips; with
Evangelicals; with the Vatican and other both Catholic and Protestant
theologians.
The book is alive with current argument for all
those interested in contemporary philosophy of religion and
theology. This reissue includes a new preface by the author and a
foreword by Perry Schmidt-Leukel.
'What this book offers is a lived philosophy...[It] should (and I
would go so far as to say must) become required reading for students in
the philosophy of religion.' - Religion and Theology
'This is an
excellent book that I shall be using with my students and would
recommend to all concerned with questions of religious pluralism,
especially Christian responses to the world religions.' - Gavin D'Costa,
Arsdisputandi
'This readable collection of papers provides an
enlightening exposition of John Hick's latest thought and of his
theological pilgrimage to it.' - Theology
