a very significant development in the last years in that field has been the strong irruption of scientific programs aimed at better knowing and even explaining religion and its many facets. Yet what has often been lacking is an effort to combine such developments with a more consciously philosophical framework, that could help to better utilize the meaning and reach of these new studies for a deeper understanding of religious mind and behaviour. This goal is achieved by Wesley Wildman and his new book, which is structured under a set of titles aimed to display the richness and changes that such irruption means for philosophy of religion, and surely for theology too. * Lluis Oviedo, ESSSAT News & Reviews *

Author Information

Wesley J. Wildman is Professor of Philosophy, Theology, and Ethics at Boston University. His research and publications pursue a multidisciplinary, comparative approach to topics within philosophy of religion and the academic study of religion. The programmatic statement of a theory of rationality underlying this type of integrative intellectual work is Religious Philosophy as Multidisciplinary Comparative Inquiry: Envisioning a Future for the Philosophy of Religion (State University of New York Press, 2010). Science and Religious Anthropology (Ashgate, 2009) presents his multidisciplinary interpretation of the human condition. Religious and Spiritual Experiences (Cambridge University Press, 2011) applies these perspectives to religious experience.
