JOURNAL FOR CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS THEORY VOL. 18 NO. 3 (FALL 2019) |
PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION AND THE
THEORY OF RELIGION
The Vol. 18, No. 3 (Fall 2019)
edition of the Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory features six essays by
known and emerging scholars in the field on how the philosophy of religion
contributes theoretically and methodologically to the theory of religion. These
essays were originally part of a special session at the American Academy of
Religion annual meeting. While this
question is often taken up by philosophers and theorists working outside of
religious studies, this set of essays offers compelling answers from thinkers
who identify as scholars of religion above all else.
