Abstract

The articles in this issue of the American Journal of Theology and Philoso- phy cover a great deal of territory—conceptually and geographically. o ur five authors hail from four different countries, the u nited s tates, c anada, h ol- land, and g ermany. The conceptual terrain they cover is as diverse as their geographic settings. n onetheless, each of their articles develops new ways of thinking about some of the “old ideas” in American philosophical and religious thought. c atherine Keller’s article, based on her 2014 annual AJTP lecture, develops the potential for a planetary politics by drawing from select classical and contemporary American thinkers, giving particular attention to the work of Alfred n orth Whitehead, John c obb, and William e . c onnolly. b randon d aniels-m ch ughes’s article presents a carefully argued analysis and construc- tive critique of c harles s anders Peirce’s classic essay “A n eglected Argument for the r eality of g od.” Angela r oothaan’s article, meanwhile, looks to Wil- liam James for a cross-cultural comparative study of the shamanistic practices of Jesus and m uhammad. The articles by c hristian Polke and d avid r ohr engage different aspects of r obert c . n eville’s recently published magnum opus, Philosophical Theology. Polke’s article traces the long arc of n eville’s concerns with the “broken symbol” of g od-as-Person and introduces readers to his own thinking about the person symbol under the theme of “expressive theism.” r ohr’s article rounds out this issue with a close analysis of two differ- ent ways of interpreting n eville’s thoughts on the “ontological creative act.” AJTP 36_2 text.indd 106 4/14/15 11:45 AM
