"I must congratulate the editors on the volume. It is verycomprehensive - bringing in the different religious traditions ofthe world and their philosophies, the history of the philosophy ofreligion, and some of its most modern developments. I think it hasgot the balance of its articles exactly right, focusing on themodern detailed analytic work, but not neglecting the widerperspective. It is very readable, and the various articles willserve as useful introductions to topics for students; it is a veryvaluable resource." Professor Swinburne, Oriel College,University of Oxford
