Religion and Philosophy by Martin Warner

In this lively collection ten philosophers tackle the notoriously elusive issues raised by religious discourse in a series of linked debates. The debates focus on reason and faith; the logic of mysticism; the meaning of the word 'God'; language, biblical interpretation and worship; and religion and ethics. Through contemporary philosophical analysis it is possible to shed new light on teh status and language of religion, and in many ways the contributors to Religion and Philosophy break new ground in this perennially controversial field. The collection is addressed to philosophers, theologians and anyone with a general intellectual interest in religion. Certainly it will be a valuable addition to the reading list of all teachers or students of the philosophy of religion.

Martin Warner, University of Warwick

Martin Warner studied for his BPhil under the supervision of Gilbert Ryle, and taught philosophy for many years at the University of Warwick, where he is now Associate Fellow of its Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature, and the Arts, which he helped to found. He jointly edits the Ashgate
book series 'Transcending Boundaries in Philosophy and Theology', and is a member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. His research interests lie in the assessment of rational persuasion, in the relationships of philosophy with both literature and theology, and in the transformative
and persuasive powers of language.
