Rethinking Religion: Exploratory Investigations

Religion is an exiting field of study. It invites an ongoing work of interpretation and reinterpretation, thinking and rethinking. This book includes a range of religious studies, interreligious diaologue, and philosophical-theological topics that will be of interest to a wide diversity of readers. There are moments of practical theology, concerning, for instance, ecumenical engagment, Spiritual theology appears in the discussion of prayer, and doctrinal theoloy in the focus on God. But what binds this varied programme together is the lucidity and congency of Pratt's arguments, his grasp of the philosophically possible and his readiness to scrutinise things as they are in that light.'
