It will surely become an essential companion to anyone with an interest in the intersection of philosophy and religion.
Taliaferro and Marty have produced a masterly 2nd edition to this guidebook to the philosophy of religion. New contributors have been brought to the table, the content has been expanded to include more non-Western figures, and the already excellent overview has been updated. Essential reading for anyone working in the field, and a testimony to its vibrancy.
Taliaferro and Marty have brought together a fine team of scholars to produce an up-to-date, concise philosophy of religion dictionary that will ably serve both the novice and the scholar. Besides the accessible, succinct entries, the dictionary contains certain bonus features: excellent introductory material, a useful philosophical/historical timeline, and an extensive bibliography for further reading. A terrific resource!
With its concise, clear, yet comprehensive entries on the major themes and historical figures in the discipline and in its environs, this is a very useful reference work for students of the subject.
In conversation with some of the finest philosophical minds of our day, Taliaferro and Marty have crafted the quintessential philosophy of religion dictionary.

This dictionary is precisely what a student will reach for regularly as the class notes and assigned readings turn cryptic. The entries are very well chosen and the brief definitions-some standing as actual discussions-are presented with clarity and economy. It is a volume that will earn the thanks of untold numbers.
This dictionary is informative, highly comprehensive, and a valuable research resource for students and scholars alike.
