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. In addition, the absence of any agreed approach to the problem underlines both the need for fresh thought on it and the fruitfulness of this area for further research. The editors' introduction sets the context of the realism debate, traces connections amongst the essays which follow, and proposes lines for future development and enquiry. The contributors present a variety of contrasting positions on key issues in the religious realism debate and each opens up new and important themes. Gordon Kaufman, Peter Lipton and Simon Blackburn provide the opening chapters and the context for the collection; Alexander Bird, John Hare, Graham Oppy and Nick Trakakis, Merold Westphal, and John Webster explore topics that are central to the 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."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aRealism 606 $aPhilosophical theology 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of (Religion) 606 $aPhilosophy and religion 615 0$aRealism. 615 0$aPhilosophical theology. 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of (Religion) 615 0$aPhilosophy and religion. 676 $a210 700 $aScott$b Michael$0169186 702 $aMoore$b Andrew 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777490103321 996 $aRealism and Religion$93829335 997 $aUNINA
