About this title

Synopsis

The question of the logical status of religious language and the possibility at all of religious "knowledge" has become one of the most critical issues in contemporary philosophy of religion. This volume brings together from scattered sources a number of outstanding writings dealing with the issue. The selections, representing widely differing points of view, focus on four main problem areas: (1) the logical status of religious language, (2) the question of literal interpretation, (3) the kinds of cognition that apply to religious knowledge, and (4) the verifiability of theological statements. Among the writings presented are those of Paul Tillich, Martin Buber, Rudolf Bultmann, Soren Kierkegaard, John Wisdom, Alasdair MacIntyre, R. M. Hare, Alfred J. Ayer, I. M. Crombie, Joseph M. Bochenski, Eric L. Mascall, C. J. Ducasse, R. B. Braithwaite, H. D. Lewis, John Hick, William Christian, and others. The selections, together with Mr. Santoni's commentary, provide a highly useful text for students of philosophy and religion. --- from book's back cover

Store Description

I reside in a rural community in central Minnesota near Mille Lacs Lake. Currently I am in the third year of an online PhD program in Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. It has been a life-long ambition to complete this educational goal. I am retired, having served as a Lutheran parish minister and I taught philosophy at a small, two-year college in central Minnesota. I have been an ABE book seller in the past, but decided it was too much for me to do with marriage, helping to raise a family and tending to my vocations, so I gave up my book business ? These Old Books. I look forward to getting back into the shelves of books and trying to find the volume that a customer wants or needs.
