Abstract

74 American Journal of Theology and Philosophy dentiary illustrations, discussion of historical counter-claims, and explicit sum- mary truth assessments. All four should be hypothetical in mode, well-tested but still fallible for further correction” (85). Realism in Religion itself exempli- fies these traits. m ost every page is rich in detail and enormously suggestive. The work is open enough in style to invite a reader to make corrections that are true to that person’s experiential contexts. y et it is persuasive enough that most readers will n fi d themselves carrying over much of value and importance from the text to their own understanding of religion and reality. i t is the work i will suggest to be read first by all who are interested in knowing more about the impressive depth and range of n eville’s thought.
