Religion is an exciting field of study. It invites an ongoing work of interpretation and reinterpretation, thinking and rethinking. This book, by a New Zealand theologian and scholar of religion, includes a range of religious studies, interreligious dialogue, and philosophical-theological topics that will be of interest to a wide diversity of readers. In this book there are moments of practical theology, concerning, for instance, ecumenical engagement. Spiritual theology appears in the discussion of prayer, and doctrinal theology in the focus on God. But what binds this varied programme together is the lucidity and cogency of Pratt’s arguments, his grasp of the philosophical possible and his readiness to scrutinise things as they are in that light.
