Analytic theology can flourish in the secular academy, and flourish as authentically Christian theology. Analytic Theology and the Academic Study of Religion explains analytic theology to other theologians and scholars of religion, while simultaneously explaining those other fields to analytic theologians. William Wood defends analytic theology from some common criticisms, but also argues that analytic theologians have much to learn from other forms of inquiry. Analytic theology is a legitimate form of theology, and a legitimate form of academic inquiry, and it can be a valuable conversation partner within the wider religious studies academy. Analytic Theology and the Academic Study of Religion articulates an attractive vision of analytic theology, fosters a more fruitful inter-disciplinary conversation, and enables scholars across the religious studies academy to understand one another better.
His command of the literature both in religious studies and in other forms of theology is on full display here. Consequently, Wood's erudite book is a valuable resource for those religious studies scholars, analytic theologians, and other theologians who may be unfamiliar with the debates in the other two fields. * John Knight, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion * This book is thus an important contribution to the debates Wood discusses. Wood is an analytical theologian himself, and an excellent one. * John Allan Knight, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion * I would recommend Wood's book for people wanting a strong understanding of the project of analytical theology * Harriet Harris, Modern Believing *
