"Readers of this volume should come away with an understanding of what genuinely comparative and multidisciplinary philosophy of religion looks like in practice." — Religious Studies Review"This is a unique volume, the first to comprehensively examine the theological work of Wesley J. Wildman. Wildman represents a twenty-first-century way forward for comparative and philosophical theology, and each chapter offers valuable discussions and critiques of his work." — John R. Shook, author of The God Debates: A 21st Century Guide for Atheists and Believers (and Everyone in Between)
