The Spiritual Dimension offers a new model for the philosophy of
religion, bringing together emotional and intellectual aspects of our
human experience, and embracing practical as well as theoretical
concerns. It shows how a religious worldview is best understood not as
an isolated set of doctrines, but as intimately related to spiritual
praxis and to the search for self-understanding and moral growth. It
argues that the religious quest requires a certain emotional openness,
but can be pursued without sacrificing our philosophical integrity.
Touching on many important debates in contemporary philosophy and
theology, but accessible to general readers, The Spiritual Dimension
covers a range of central topics in the philosophy of religion,
including scientific cosmology and the problem of evil; ethical theory
and the objectivity of goodness; psychoanalytic thought,
self-discovery and virtue; the multi-layered nature of religious
discourse; and the relation between faith and evidence.
