✦ Synopsis

Divine Nature and Human Language is a collection of twelve essays in philosophical theology by William l. Alston, one of the leading figures in the current renaissance in the philosophy of religion. Using the equipment of contemporary analytical philosophy, Alston explores, partly refashions, and defends a largely traditional conception of God and His work in the world-a conception that finds its origins in medieval philosophical theology. These essays fall into two groups: those concerned with theological language (Part I of the volume) and those that deal with the nature, status, and activity of God (Parts II and HI).

The first collection of Alston's ground-breaking work in the philosophy of religion, Divine Nature and Human Language includes four previously unpublished essays. It will be welcomed by scholars and students of the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, theology, and religious studies.
