Summary: | This is not an encyclopedia or dictionary; you cannot look up ‘Dualism’ or ‘Schopenhauer’ and hope to find information on them in a nutshell. It consists of nine main sections, made up of sixty-four extended articles by philosophers and scholars, some of whom are very well known indeed (including John Hick, Kai Nielsen, William Lane Craig, and John B. Cobb, to mention only four)., The first section (‘Philosophical issues in the world's religions’) is perhaps the least satisfactory. Here and elsewhere the editors seem to have given their contributors a free hand, so that (for example) the essay on African religions concentrates on the world views of the Akans of West Africa, while that on Christianity is really a kind of summary of New Testament theology. |
