Reviews for Meaning Truth And God (ND BOSTON U STUDIES)
"Meaning, Truth, and God explores from a variety of perspectives the questions of the relation of meaning and truth in the philosophy of religion.... Part 1 explores the logic of theological inquiry and the challenges to the veracity of religious discourse, part 2 that of social process and religious belief. Part 3 addresses directly the question of the reality of God. This is a fine volume and makes an important contribution to current scholarship. It will be of value for all concerned with questions of meaning and truth in religion." —The Journal of Religion
