Analytical philosophy has dominated the philosophy of religion for at least half a century. Its impact is relished by some and regretted by others, but rarely openly discussed. This is the first ever volume critically and historically to debate its influence. The volume boasts world-renowned contributors who have shaped Anglo-American philosophy of religion over the past fifty years, and also up and coming scholars who will help determine its future.

Harriet A. Harris teaches philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, UK and is the university Chaplain.

Christopher J. Insole is Professor in Philosophical Theology and Ethics at the University of Durham, UK, and Professorial Fellow at the Australian Catholic University. He has published extensively on realism and anti-realism, religious epistemology, the relationship between theology, metaphysics, and political philosophy, and on Immanuel Kant's philosophy of religion.
