[Kendall Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent engagement with recent philosophical thought. The conclusion and the implications for theology were a bit underdeveloped.

I've been helped by everything I've read by William Placher. He is a clear thinker and a fine writer. Perhaps best of all is the generous spirit in which he writes and interacts with various ideas and their advocates. In this book the author argues that in the pluralistic environment in which the Christian community finds itself it simply needs to remain faithful to its own vision of things given to it in the Story rather than by making an appeal to some philosophical foundation external to the story itself.

The first half was very good, but the conclusion left me wanting more.
