The Handbook of Philosophy and Religion is a one-volume examination of the most salient concepts that sit at the intersection of religion and philosophy. This book grounds readers in the mysteries that have evoked wonder and consternation for millennia, such as the nature of divinity in relation to humanity, the legitimacy of religious experience and how we frame language to speak about it, the possibility of miraculous occurrences, and theories regarding life after death.
Mark A. Lamport is a graduate professor at schools in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Virginia, Belgium, Portugal, and The Netherlands. He is editor, coeditor, and author of ten multi-volume reference books, including the Handbook of Contemporary Christianity in the United States (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022).
