Abstract

A book like this has been needed for some time. Gill has set up an anthology to show students the current state of the philosophy of religion without first leading them through the labyrinth of history and loosing their interest along the way. Gill sees five major areas of focus, five "perspectives," on the problems of the philosophy of religion. These five perspectives are Existentialism ; Humanist Perspective ; Process Thought ; The Analytic Perspective ; The Neo-Catholic Perspective. On the whole the readings are provocative and, together with supplementary materials, can easily illuminate the contemporary scene in the philosophy of religion.--S. O. H.
