A dictionary of philosophy of religion

A Dictionary of Philosophy of Religion is an indispensable resource for students and scholars. Covering historical and contemporary figures, arguments, and terms, it offers an overview of the vital themes that make philosophy of religion the growing, vigorous field that it is today. It covers world religions and sources from east and west. Entries have been crafted for clarity, succinctness, and engagement.

"In conversation with some of the finest philosophical minds of our day, Taliaferro and Marty have crafted the quintessential philosophy of religion dictionary. Engaging, au courant, and filled with luminous definitions and clever examples, this unique and cross-cultural work offers a rich learning experience for both neophytes and experts. A truly outstanding accomplishment."-Chad V, Meister, Professor Of Philosophy, Bethel College, USA, And Author Of Introducing Philosophy Of Religion (Routledge).

"This dictionary is precisely what a student will reach for regularly as the class notes and assigned readings turn cryptic. The entries are very well chosen and the brief definitionsùsome standing as actual discussionsùare presented with clarity and economy. It is a volume that will earn the thanks of untold numbers."-Daniel N. Robinson, Professor In The Philosophy Faculty, University Of Oxford, UK, And Distinguished Professor Emeritus Of Philosophy, Georgetown University, USA.

"...Concise, clear, yet comprehensive entries...a very useful reference work for students of the subject."-Tim Mawson, Fellow And Or In Philosophy, The University Of Oxford, UK.
