Reviews

William P. Alston, author of Beyond"Justification": Dimensions of Epistemic Evaluation:

Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion exhibits the characteristic virtues of J. L. Schellenberg's philosophizing. It is beautifully organized and clearly expounded. It goes into the issues it treats in great detail. It is loaded with acute and ingenious argumentation. Furthermore it is a work of great originality. This book is indispensable reading for everyone engaged, at whatever level, in the philosophy of religion.

William J. Wainwright, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee:

J. L. Schellenberg has written an original and provocative book. I strongly recommend it.

Choice, April 2006:

Both Schellenberg's treatment of skepticism and his argument for principles of evaluation are superb and will draw wide attention. Indeed, the lucid writing and well-constructed arguments of this engaging, honest book draw readers into thinking and arguing of their own. Highly recommended.
