God, Goodness and Philosophy

«'God, Goodness and Philosophy is an extraordinary collection of new, first-rate work on religion and values by the best philosophers of religion working today. The writing, throughout, is clear, engaging, and accessible to both students and scholars in philosophy, theology, and religious studies.' Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College, USA 'Every essay in this collection is informative and stimulating. Two not to be missed are those by Roger Scruton and Nicholas Wolterstorff. Scruton defends ideas of the sacred and purity and Wolterstorff reflects on generosity and justice and the parable of the workers in the vineyard. There are important chapters looking at evolutionary theory and ethics with Robin Attfield finding room for non-reciprocal, non-familial altruism. The editor contributes an excellent introduction summarising and discussing the issues raised in the essays.' The Church of England Newspaper 'All in all, this volume offers us some interesting papers that are of value to those working on the relationship between God and morality. It also allows us to see that Britain’s got talent in the realm of philosophy of religion.' Themelios '... the essays in this collection show that there are many questions facing those engaged in moral philosophy, philosophy of religion, and theology. They also show that the answers to some profound questions about God and goodness are far from obvious. The search for them may be lively as well as controversial and intellectually demanding. This is a stimulating volume that deserves attention.' Journal of Theological Studies 'There is much of interest here and much that gets the reader to think again about the importance of critical philosophical engagement with notions of goodness.'
