David Ray Griffin is Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. Among his many books are Religion and Scientific Naturalism: Overcoming the Conflicts; Unsnarling the World-Knot: Consciousness, Freedom, and the Mind-Body Problem; and Evil Revisited: Responses and Reconsiderations.
In this important work David Ray Griffin provides an admirably
lucid exposition of the central theses of Process Philosophy, and
argues for its superiority both over materialist naturalism and
supernaturalist theism.... Griffin's criticisms both of
materialistic naturalism and of traditional supernaturalist theism
are to be taken seriously.
*Australian Journal of Philosophy*
Griffin deserves high marks for elevating process thought onto a
level of respectability, even among analytically oriented
thinkers.
*Transcendent Philosophy*
In this work, Griffin has provided a careful, thorough, and
thoughtful account of what process philosophy of religion involves.
Remarkably comprehensive, he uses this work to cover everything
from human personhood and morality to evil and the concept of God.
He is explicit in his understanding of what religion involves, and
it is reassuring to see a philosopher of religion spending much
time on what is often assumed rather than discussed.... This is a
mature work that offers an excellent and comprehensive philosophy
of religion from the standpoint of process thought.... Religion is
revealed as the attempt to connect with reality, and it is this
rather beautiful vision of the need for an engagement with the
awesome world around us that remains long after the book has been
finished.
*Ars Disputandi*
Occasionally, a book comes along that is definitive for its field
of study, a book that marks a milestone in thought.... Griffin has
written just such a book—a book that, by all rights, should mark a
watershed in the academic study of religion.... Griffin makes about
as strong a case as one can in a single volume for a genuine and
viable alternative.
*The Journal of Religion*
This is both a clear and accurate introduction to the metaphysical
philosophy of A.N. Whitehead, using much of his self-devised
technical language, and an examination of all the questions of
philosophical theology from that viewpoint.
*Theology*
Because of its novel formulations and its responses to questions in
contemporary philosophy of religion, this book is recommended
mainly to those who are process 'insiders.' Its novel formulations
and responses to questions of scientific concern make this book a
resource to scientists seeking answers that are both religiously
and scientifically adequate. Due to the comprehensive presentation
of process thought in Reenchantment Without Supernaturalism, this
book is recommended to those who want to decide for themselves what
they've previously only heard others praise or criticize.
