Myth of Religious Neutrality: An Essay on the Hidden Role of Religious Belief in Theories
In clear, accessible language, Clouser discusses the nature and types of religion and religious belief, its relation to theories, and the various alternatives (e.g., irrationalism, rationalism, biblicism, and scholasticism). He then outlines various mathematical, physical, and psychological theories, critiques reductionism, and outlines biblical theories of reality, society, and state. The book is controversial not only for its central thesis and its analogy between the role of religious belief in human life and that of tectonic plates in the earth's geography, but also for its definition of religion as necessarily involving belief in God. Recommended for academic and seminary libraries.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
