A collection of articles and essays by the former Bishop of Durham exploring his approach to philosophy and theology and the relationship between them.


A collection of the most important articles and essays by Bishop Ian Ramsay, a leading philosopher of religion, exploring his approach to philosophy and theology and the relationship between them. Divided into three parts – ‘Contemporary Philosophy’, ‘The Meaning of God Talk’, and ‘The Logic of Faith’ – this volume contains Ian Ramsey’s thoughts on philosophy, metaphysics and ontology, the meaning and understanding of the gospels, and the justification of faith. An extensive appendix includes the author’s answers to the contemporary subjects of freedom and immortality, Christian education and the intellectual crisis, and they are complemented by a selected bibliography.
