35Enduring Questions in Philosophy of Religion: A Response to Neville and GodloveAmerican Journal of Theology and Philosophy 37 (1): 36-52. 2016.One could not ask for two more rigorous readers than Robert Neville and Terry Godlove, both brilliant scholars in their own right. I am very honored by the attention they have given to my work, and challenged by their various proposals to relieve me of my errors. My reply to their searching questions will consider seven topics, which I will take up in the form of further questions. Each topic has proven to be fairly enduring in the modern philosophy of religion. In conclusion, I will briefly con…Read more

23The Study of Religion after Davidson and RortyAmerican Journal of Theology and Philosophy 35 (3): 195-210. 2014.One of the enduring questions in the study of religion is how to define the object of our study. I would like to offer a definition, as an opening move in any discussion of religion, not because I think definitions settle anything by themselves, but because very different definitions of religion are at stake in contemporary debates in the academy, particularly in the hyphenated areas such as science and religion, or religion and politics, or religion and gender studies, and I think it is importa…Read more

36The Center of Neville’s Vision: An Elegant AxiologyAmerican Journal of Theology and Philosophy 40 (3): 82-89. 2019.Robert Cummings Neville1 first came to my attention when I was a senior in college. "Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now," as Bob Dylan crooned at the time. Serious and studious, I was reading scholarly journals in the stacks one Saturday night. Among them was the journal Theological Studies, and in the March 1969 issue was the most effusive book review I had ever read. It was of Neville's very first book, God the Creator: On the Transcendence and Presence of God. The Dom…Read more

18On Empty Compliments and Deceptive DetoursJournal of Religious Ethics 27 (1): 129-136. 1999.The philosophical question Nunez raises is whether we can have, as he thinks we need, a theoretical grounding for appeal to the intrinsic value of nature. This article examines the neopragmatist reasons for repudiating metaphysical realism's notions of intrinsicality and subject-independent reality. Following the holism of Donald Davidson and Richard Rorty rather than the epistemological premises of Holmes Rolston and Bernard Lonergan, the author concludes that coping with the ecological crisis …Read more
