About this title

Synopsis

<p>Encountering philosophy of religion for the first time, we are like explorers arriving on an uncharted coastline. There are inviting bays and beaches, but rocky reefs and pounding surf as well. And what tribes may inhabit the land is anyone’s guess.But our cautious intrigue turns to confidence as Anthony Thiselton greets us as a native informant. Cheerfully imparting insider knowledge, mapping the major landmarks, and outlining the main figures and issues in its tribal debates, he teaches usthe basics for gaining cultural fluency on these foreign shores.<em>Approaching Philosophy of Religion</em> is divided into three parts:Part I (Approaches) provides descriptions of the main entrance ramps to studying the subject, with lively case histories, working examples, and assessments of their lasting value.Part II (Concepts and Issues) gives us brief introductions to the origins and development of ideas, and highlights their significance in the work of major thinkers.Part III (Key Terms)supplies concise explanations of all the words and phrases that readers need to know in order to engage the subject.For students and anyone else reading and engaging philosophy of religion for the first time, <em>Approaching Philosophy of Religion</em> is the essential companion.</p>
