By exploring how analytic philosophy of religion can expand its horizons to combat old biases, Amber L. Griffioen's new book argues for reorientations in the discipline aimed at transforming it into a field that is simultaneously theoretically rigorous, socially relevant, and inclusive of traditionally marginalized voices and perspectives. Drawing on diverse philosophical resources, including social epistemology, philosophy of science, feminist philosophy, and philosophy of sport-as well as on perspectives from theology, religious studies, psychology, medieval mysticism, and the arts-Griffioen brings the practical and imaginative aspects of religion to the fore as objects for philosophical reflection. Chapters include discussions of topics such as theological realism, religious epistemology, theistic faith, the religious imagination, and theodicy and the problem of evil. Ultimately, Griffioen argues for a "doxastically permissive" approach to religion as a form of earnest play-one compatible with belief but not requiring it. Presenting traditional debates together with a consideration of their limits-and proposing alternative approaches that promise to move the discipline forward in exciting ways-Griffioen's book is an essential resource for any scholar or student of philosophy of religion.
