Recenzii
One of the galling tendencies of religion's detractors is that they describe religion as primitive but instead of calling for more mature forms of religion they insist that religion is forever primitive and thus summarily dismiss it. Schellenberg rightly calls their bluff and does so on evolutionary grounds A stimulating contribution this slender and thought-provoking volume is well worth the read.
Schellenberg's emphasis on deep time and on an evolutionary perspective is important, and it does have implications for religious beliefs. . . . The book is accessible to the general reader. It deals with issues of 'spirituality' and 'religion' that are of both general and scholarly interest. And it would make a good text for college discussions of the nature of religious faith.
I enjoyed reading this a great deal. Its proposal is serious and well-reasoned, and I want to argue with the author, which is just about the highest recommendation I can give of a book.
With his customary clarity, wit and originality, Schellenberg invites us to re-imagine religion's future possibilities and power within the realm of cultural evolution. This book cuts right through the tired contemporary stand-offs between church and secular science.
This clearly written book is a philosophical tour de force, as accessible as it is profound.
Evolutionary Religion is a very fine book. Its distinctive thesis and innovative arguments expand our understanding of religion, the philosophy of religion, and skepticism
