Description
Outstanding philosophers and theologians gathered at Princeton Theological Seminary to explore contemporary philosophical critiques of Christian belief. This collection brings together their papers, prepared criticism, and excerpts from debates on key issues in the philosophy of religion.
The discussions centered around the experiential grounds of religious belief, the conclusions that can be drawn from religious experience, the "emptiness" or significance of Christian belief and ethics in the modern world, Freudian explanations for faith, and the Barthian defense of Christianity.
