    Introduction
    In Russell Re Manning (ed.), The Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology, Oxford University Press Uk. 2013.
    This introductory chapter begins by identifying the primary themes covered in this Handbook. It then attempts to put to rest the prevailing myth regarding natural theology: that natural theology had a brief, if significant, flourishing at a kind of interim point of the scientific revolution and culminated in William Paley's 1802 book, Natural Theology, before being fatally undermined by the combined effects of a three-pronged philosophical, scientific, and theological critique. It is argued that…Read more

    A Perspective on Natural Theology From Continental Philosophy
    In Russell Re Manning (ed.), The Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology, Oxford University Press Uk. 2013.
    This chapter sets out a distinctive perspective on natural theology that is informed by a more synthetic account of the general tendencies of continental philosophy. It first discusses definitions of natural theology and pistic theology; Heidegger' s refusal of a natural theological voice; the relation of natural theology to recent developments in political theology; and natural theology as heir to the Platonic defence of theonomous morality. The chapter then examines a perspective on natural th…Read more

    The Cambridge Companion to Paul Tillich (edited book)
    Cambridge University Press. 2009.
    The complex philosophical theology of Paul Tillich, increasingly studied today, was influenced by thinkers as diverse as the Romantics and Existentialists, Hegel and Heidegger. A Lutheran pastor who served as a military chaplain in World War I, he was dismissed from his university post at Frankfurt when the Nazis came to power in 1933, and emigrated to the United States, where he continued his distinguished career. This authoritative Companion provides accessible accounts of the major themes of …Read more

    Mutual enrichment between psychology and theology (edited book)
    Routledge. 2021.
    The relationship between psychology and Christian theology has been one of the most important topics in the science and religion field. Discussions, however, are too frequently one-sided. This book takes an alternative approach, following the lead of Fraser Watts, the contributions develop various aspects of the mutual enrichment of each discipline by the other. Beyond outdated models of conflict and independence, this book highlights areas of fruitful enhancement at the interface of Christian b…Read more

    The place (or absence) of God in Nietzsche's thought remains central and controversial. Nietzsche's proclamation of 'the death of God' is one of the most famous (and parodied) slogans in modern philosophy, seeming to encapsulate the nineteenth-century loss of religious faith in the affirmation that God has "turned out to be our oldest lie" and yet the nature of Nietzsche's own 'theology' is far from clear. This volume engages with Nietzsche's arguments about God, theology, and religion. The volu…Read more

    Paul Tillich
    In Christopher D. Rodkey & Jordan E. Miller (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of Radical Theology, Springer Verlag. pp. 409-424. 2018.
    Paul Tillich is one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century, and he produced a corpus of work that is considered canon for Western theology. While his influence is broad in and beyond the field of religious studies, his historic or ideological connection to radical theology has been hotly debated for decades. This introduction engages Tillich’s work as a whole but focuses upon what elements of Tillich are specifically employed by radical theologians, but more importantly, make…Read more

    Protestant perspectives on natural theology
    In J. H. Brooke, F. Watts & R. R. Manning (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology, Oxford Up. 2013.
    This chapter examines the simultaneous rejection and endorsement of natural theology within Protestantism, focusing on two contentious issues representing the tensions within Protestant perspectives on natural theology. Firstly, it considers the historical theological question of the attitude to natural theology amongst the Reformers and the post-Reformation Protestant Orthodoxy. The chapter engages with the established consensus that the increasingly positive evaluation of the possibility and v…Read more
