The question is, what constitutes truth in religion? Represented here is the whole spectrum of phenomenology-transcendental, existential, hermeneutic, ethical, and deconstructive-presented by some of the most respected names in the philosophy of religion today: Louis Dupré, Merold Westphal, and Edward Farley. Here is also engagement with a wide variety of twentieth-century thinkers such as Husserl, Scheler, and Heidegger; Ricoeur, Gadamer, and Derrida; Freud, van der Leeuw, and Eliade; and Rosenzweig, Tillich, and Schillebeeks.
This volume provides unique sources for anyone interested in the philosophical, theological, or scientific study of religion.
