Between Philosophy and Theology (eBook, ePUB)

Contemporary Interpretations of Christianity
Redaktion: Boeve, Lieven

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Long past the time when philosophers from different perspectives had joined the funeral procession that declared the death of God, a renewed interest has arisen in regard to the questions of God and religion in philosophy. This book brings some of these philosophical views together to present an overview of the philosophical scene in its dealings with religion, but also to move beyond the outsider's perspective. Reflecting on these philosophical interpretations from a fundamental theological perspective, the authors discover in what way these interpretations can challenge an understanding of today's faith.
