This investigation takes full account of the findings of the social and historical sciences while offering a religious interpretation of the religions as different culturally conditioned responses to a transcendent Divine Reality. The work is based on the author's Gifford Lectures, 1986-7. It treats the principal topics in the philosophy of religion and establishes both a basis for religious affirmation today and a framework for the developing worldwide inter-faith dialogue. John Hick is the author of many books on the philosophy of religion including "Problems of Religious Pluralism", "Evil and the God of Love", "Death and Eternal Life", "God and the Universe of Faiths" and "Faith and Knowledge".

'This book is a unique contribution to the development of a field theory of religion. It justifies religious belief on the basis of our experience, especially religious experience, and points out the existence of resources within the major world religions to resolve the contemporary urgent problems of religious pluralism. The author's new attempt is very valuable for all world religions including Buddhism.' - Professor Masao Abe, Pacific School of Religion, California
