Autorenporträt
James Kellenberger has published several books in Religion/Philosophy of Religion addressing concerns with religious knowledge and religious plurality, as well as many articles on these and related religious subjects. From 1967 to 2008 he taught Philosophy at California State University, Northridge. In 2008 he became emeritus. His current concern with religious detachment goes beyond but also grows out of these previous concerns.
