Religious Studies

In the second part are found essays by Katherin A. Rogers on 'Incarnation'; Stephen T. Davis on 'Resurrection'; Gordon Graham on 'Atonement'; Paul K. Moser on 'Sin and salvation'; Chad Meister on 'The problem of evil'; William J. Abraham on 'Church'; Charles Taliaferro on 'Religious rites'; Thomas D. Sullivan and Sandra Menssen on 'Revelation and miracles'; Harriet Harris on 'Prayer'; and Jerry L. Walls on 'Heaven and Hell'. All the essays are clearly written and there's a sense in which, when taken together, they are likely to offer something to everyone: from the general reader or the beginning undergraduate to the graduate student or professional wishing to brush up on the latest thinking in an area of the discipline that he or she has left unobserved for some time, at least one of these essays is bound to prove useful. By way of some examples - Feenstra could not reasonably be expected, in the twelve sides to which he has confined himself, to make great inroads into the doctrine of the Trinity; his essay is more a preliminary canvassing of the issues and options.
