Reviving Christian Humanism

Theology

“Erudite and accessible, Browning’s scholarship once again cuts a clear path through a dense forest of ideas now growing at the interface of religion and morality. His nuanced distinctions between ethics and morality, religion and spirituality, and foundationalist and hermeneutic epistemological approaches are among the most helpful to be found in the literature. He offers original and constructive direction for continued research through his critical but congenial engagement with recent thinking in positive and moral psychology. I know of no higher praise than to say I look forward to sharing his insights with my students as soon as possible.”
