Reihe: Routledge Studies in Analytic and Systematic Theology

N.T. Wright has had a significant influence on Christian thought in the past half century, covering an impressive array of topics throughout his career and engaging with philosophical thinkers and subject matter. This volume brings leading figures in analytic theology and philosophy of religion into conversation with Wright’s corpus. The chapters focus, in particular, on issues concerning the epistemology of religious belief and the role of history in forming such beliefs, two themes that have dominated Wright’s work in the past two decades. In addressing these two areas, the contributors discuss topics from natural theology to disability studies, from ecological ethics to eschatology, and from historiography to the so-called ‘proofs’ of God’s existence. Together they offer a critical assessment of Wright’s scholarship and a valuable perspective on many of the issues that he has devoted his career to addressing.
