Quatrième de couverture :

In 85 new and updated essays written by an outstanding cast of leading scholars and rising stars in the field, this comprehensive volume provides an authoritative guide to philosophy of religion.

This extensively revised second edition contains 22 new entries combined with updated and reorganized material from the previous edition. Coverage of the challenges to theism, the justification of theistic belief, and the history of philosophy of religion has been expanded. An entirely new section, Current Trends and New Directions, contains 10 entries, including new essays on Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion, continental philosophy of religion, evidentialism, and philosophical reflection on mysticism.

Engagingly written in a style that appeals both to the non–specialist and to the professional philosopher, this volume provides a broad survey of the issues in the philosophy of religion and offers an invaluable reference resource which will be referred to again and again.
