The Lost Sheep in Philosophy of Religion (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion)
Contemporary research in philosophy of religion is dominated by traditional problems such as the nature of evil, arguments against theism, issues of foreknowledge and freedom, the divine attributes, and religious pluralism. This volume instead focuses on unrepresented and underrepresented issues in the discipline. The essays address how issues like race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, feminist and pantheist conceptions of the divine, and nonhuman animals connect to existing iss...
In Defense of Religious Liberty
In "Defense of Religious Lierty" presents David Novak's vigorous - and paradoxical - argument that the primacy of divine law is the best foundation for a secular, multicultural democracy. Novak presses his claim, which will astound both liberal and conservative advocates of democracy, in political, philosophical, and theological terms. He shows how the universal norms of divine law are knowable as natural law, that they are the best formulations of the human rights of life, liberty, and the purs...

Cavell, Companionship, and Christian Theology (AAR Reflection and Theory in the Study of Religion)
by Peter Dula
In recent decades, theologians and philosophers of religion have been engaged in a vigorous debate about the status and nature of ecclesiology, and of community. In that discussion, theologians have found resources in political philosophy, particularly communitarianism and political liberalism. In this book, Peter Dula turns instead to Stanley Cavell to see how his work might illuminate that discussion - in particular, how his understanding of companionship might usefully complicate the communit...
The main aims of this book are to establish that it is rational to believe that God exists; to show how God relates to morality; and to show how God is causally connected to his creation. Dore defends a version of the ontological argument and refutes the atheistic argument from suffering. He argues that only God can account for the overridingness of morality. He also treats ethical supernaturalism as a type of ethical attitude theory, showing how it is related to secular theories which base vali...
Nietzsche and the Death of God (Bedford Series in History & Culture (Paperback))
Muslim philosophical activities on the cusp of the Safavid era (i.e., late 9th/15th and early 10th/16th centuries) have so far escaped the attention of modern scholars. In Iran, the city of Shiraz was the principal center of philosophy at this time, and it was here that Najm al-Din Mahmud al-Nayrizi (d. after 933/1526), whose life and works are the subject of this book, spent his formative years. An accomplished Shi'i scholars, Nayrizi engaged with Avicennan as well as Suhrawardian philosophy i...
George Berkeley was considered "the most engaging and useful man in Ireland in the eighteenth century". This hyperbolic statement refers both to Berkeley's life and thought; in fact, he always considered himself a pioneer called to think and do new things. He was an empiricist well versed in the sciences, an amateur of the mechanical arts, as well as a metaphysician; he was the author of many completely different discoveries, as well as a very active Christian, a zealous bishop and the apostle o...
