"Meaning, Truth, and God explores from a variety of perspectives the questions of the relation of meaning and truth in the philosophy of religion.... Part 1 explores the logic of theological inquiry and the challenges to the veracity of religious discourse, part 2 that of social process and religious belief. Part 3 addresses directly the question of the reality of God. This is a fine volume and makes an important contribution to current scholarship. It will be of value for all concerned with questions of meaning and truth in religion." —The Journal of Religion

The distinction between meaning and truth has become a critical issue for contemporary philosophy of religion. These essays by eminent scholars express a concern not only with the logic of religious belief and the effect of social context on religious meaning, but with the truth-claim concerning the reality of God.
