Publisher Synopsis
"Theism not only shaped our past, but continues to shape our thought and institutions in a myriad of ways. This volume offers a wide ranging approach to the history, philosophy, and meaning of theism across many cultures and eras. For those who thought the 'new atheists' had settled the matter of God (but also hoped there were intelligent alternatives to their dismissals) this collection of wise essays will refresh their views of theism." -James Hudnut-Beumler, Dean of the Divinity School and Anne Potter Disinguished Professor of American Religious History, Vanderbilt University"This is the most comprehensive collection on the subject to date, written by the leading figures in the field. While maintaining a philosophical focus and grounded in the best of contemporary analytic philosophy, the anthology includes welcome multidisciplinary, global and historical perspectives." -Robert C. Koons, Professor of Philosophy, University of Texas, Austin "The Routledge Companion to Theism isn't just for academics; this is an essential resource for a better-informed public discourse about the myriad ways our beliefs about God affect the whole range of human affairs." --Jim Rice, editor, Sojourners magazine"A welcome addition to the literature that reflects the continuing resurgence of interest in theism, religion and philosophy in the academy... This Companion is a must have for collections that undergird programs in philosophy and religion." -M.Y.
