Reviews
This is a work of both descriptive and prescriptive (constructive) theology. It is about ideas: dense, challenging, evocative, and provocative ... the author's broader themes, among them experimental theologies of religion and the divine and non-competitive ways to understand the world's many religious traditions, will be compelling to anyone interested in how some theologians are addressing ever-evolving conversations about authenticity, credibility, religious pluralism, and 'truth' in contemporary religious thought and life. - Journal of Lutheran Ethics The detailed development, the verbal bravura, and the measured knowledge in this book are astonishingly impressive. - American Journal of Theology and Philosophy Wheeler makes a significant contribution to the field of empirical theology and specifically to the field of pragmatic historicism. This book is a detailed, thorough, and nuanced treatment of the historical development of pragmatic historicism, and as a detailed history of an important strand in American religious thought, it makes a major contribution to an understanding of religion worldwide. - Daniel A. Dombrowski, author of Whitehead's Religious Thought: From Mechanism to Organism, From Force to Persuasion Wheeler is advancing not merely a position and argument, but a project and an agenda, and doing so with grace and verve. This is a very impressive book that will command the attention of all serious scholars working in the liberal theological traditions. It is a breathtakingly comprehensive, invigorating synthesis of the historicist, pragmatist, and naturalist lineages in American philosophy and theology. - Michael S. Hogue, author of American Immanence: Democracy for an Uncertain World
