Philosophy, Feminism, and Faith
By: Groenhout, Ruth E. (ed.); Bower, Marya (ed.)
Published by: Indiana University Press
Women who are comfortable with how religion, feminism, and philosophy have triangulated their lives and those who are more troubled by the tensions between traditional religious practice and radical feminist thinking consider how they find meaning and wholeness in their lives. Women from a diverse range of traditions - Catholic, Protestant, Quaker, Jewish, and Muslim - represent diverse ethnicities, races, and ages. The powerful voices gathered here illustrate the creative intellectual energy that walking these simple life paths can generate.

Possession, Power and the New Age
By: Wood, Matthew
Published by: Ashgate
This book provides a new sociological account of contemporary religious phenomena such as channelling, holistic healing, meditation and divination, which are usually classed as part of a New Age Movement. Drawing on his extensive ethnography carried out in the UK, alongside comparative studies in America and Europe, Matthew Wood criticises the view that such phenomena represent spirituality in which self-authority is paramount. Instead, he emphasises the role of social authority and the centrality of spirit possession, linking these to participants' class positions and experiences of secularisation. Informed by sociological and anthropological approaches to social power and practice, especially the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, Wood's study explores what he calls the nonformative regions of the religious field, and charts similarities and differences with pagan, spiritualist and Theosophical traditions.

The Possibility of Discussion
By: Strandberg, Hugo
Published by: Ashgate
How is fruitful discussion possible? This book addresses the central philosophical issue of how reason shall be understood and how it is limited. Inspired by Wittgensteinian ideas, Strandberg develops a new way of understanding discussion, truth and rationality and shows how the solution can be used to answer the accusation against Wittgensteinian philosophy for being overly conservative.

Prayer
By: Holmes, Ernest
Published by: Tarcher
Combining the most essential principles about prayer with the dozens of prayers and meditations from Ernest Holmes's classic text, The Science of Mind , this new book, Prayer , is a simple introduction for anyone who wants to learn how to pray effectively. "What does one do when he prays?" writes Holmes. "He talks to God. Where does he talk to God? He talks to God in his own mind, through his own thought or feeling."

Questioning God
By: Caputo, John D. (ed.); Dooley, Mark (ed.); Scanlon, Michael J. (ed.)
Published by: Indiana University Press
In 15 insightful essays, Jacques Derrida and an international group of scholars of religion explore postmodern thinking about God and consider the nature of forgiveness in relation to the paradoxes of the gift. Among the themes addressed are the possibilities of imagining God as non-patriarchal, imagining a return to Augustine, and imagining an age in which praise is far more important than narrative.

Reading Hume's Dialogues
By: Sessions, William Lad
Published by: Indiana University Press
In this lively ready of David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion , William Lad Sessions reveals a complex internal hermeneutic that gives new form, structure, and meaning to the work. Linking situations, character, style, and action to the philosophical concepts presented, Sessions finds meaning contained in the work itself and calls attention to the internal connections between plot, character, rhetoric, and philosophy. The result avoids the main preoccupation of previous commentaries, namely, the attempt to establish which of the main characters speaks for Hume.

Realism and Religion
By: Moore, Andrew (ed.); Scott, Michael (ed.)
Published by: Ashgate
This book draws together a distinguished group of philosophers and theologians to present new thinking on realism and religion. The religious realism/antirealism debate concerns the questions of God's independence from human beings, the nature of religious truth and our access to religious truths. Although both philosophers and theologians have written on these subjects, there has been little sustained investigation into these issues akin to that found in comparable areas of research such as ethics or the philosophy of science. The contributors present a variety of contrasting positions on key issues in the religious realism debate. This volume of original essays will both introduce newcomers to the field and suggest new lines of research for those already familiar with it.

The Realist Hope
By: Insole, Christopher J.
Published by: Ashgate
Taking into consideration analytical, continental, historical, post-modern and contemporary thinkers, Insole provides a powerful defence of a realist construal of religious discourse. Insole argues that anti-realism tends towards absolutism and hubris. Cutting through the tired and well-rehearsed debates in this area, Insole provides a fresh perspective on approaches influenced by Wittgenstein, Kant, and apophatic theology. The defence of realism offered is unusual in being both analytically precise, and theologically sensitive, with a view to some of the wider cultural, ethical and political implications of the debate.

Religion
By: Schneider, Hans Julius
Published by: Walter de Gruyter
This book offers a succinct and comprehensible presentation of what religion is about and how it is related to other intellectual areas (particularly to science). It emphasizes the practical side of religion (religious experience, Zen-meditation, personal growth) and considers Buddhism in addition to Christianity. The resulting view of religion leaves behind skeptical misgivings but at the same time is open for interreligious dialogue.

Religion and Morality
By: Wainwright, William J.
Published by: Ashgate
Religion and Morality addresses central issues arising from religion's relation to morality. Part one offers a sympathetic but critical appraisal of the claim that features of morality provide evidence for the truth of religious belief. Part two examines divine command theories, objections to them, and positive arguments in their support. Part three explores tensions between human morality, as ordinarily understood, and religious requirements by discussing such issues as the conflict between Buddhist and Christian pacifism and requirements of justice, whether "virtue" without a love of God is really a vice, whether the God of the Abrahamic religions could require us to do something that seems clearly immoral, and the ambiguous relations between religious mysticism and moral behavior.Covering a broad range of topics, this book draws on both historical and contemporary literature, and explores afresh central issues of morality and religion offering new insights for students, academics and the general reader interested in philosophy and religion.
