Despite the fact that some of the essays in this volume date back as early as 1985, the philosophy still feels fresh. With her characteristic clarity and precision, Zagzebski guides her reader through familiar territory into entirely new insights in the philosophy of religion... [The] value of this volume comes from the contribution it makes to revealing unnoticed connections in Zagzebski's philosophy of religion. It provides good evidence that she is a deeply systematic philosopher.
