Christian Thought in America

History & Biography

“This is the best book I've seen in a long time for exploring the long sweep of Christian thought, rather than doctrine, in American history right into the twenty-first century. Schell and Ott have performed a huge service in making it available as a short history.”

Physics, Information, and Meaning

Science & Faith

“David Conner presents us with a new philosophy of nature. Influenced by A. N. Whitehead, Conner goes far beyond Whitehead in depicting the contemporary, naturalistic roots of ‘meaning.’”

The End of Evil

Theology

“This is a major piece of scholarship. It is clearly and gracefully written. Far from merely summarizing existing process approaches to eschatology, Suchocki intricately works out, for the first time, a systematic treatment of the source and end of evil. The topics of evil, of theodicy, of eschatology, central concerns of Christian theology, receive a systematic treatment here from both an historical and a philosophical perspective. This makes the book more than a theological exercise. At the same time, it rises above much current philosophical literature by focusing on categories of existence (rather than language) such as freedom and finitude, treated in terms of a unified theory. I believe her explication of the Whiteheadian basis for this particular process eschatology will be an important (not to say popular) interpretation.”
