Analyzing Theology

“No one is doing more important work in analytic theology and philosophy of religion than Eleonore Stump. These essays of hers, written over the span of her career but gathered here for the first time, are just as needful and insightful now as they were when first published. We should receive them with gratitude. We all have something to learn from Stump’s depths of wisdom.”
—Timothy J. Pawl, University of St. Thomas

“This collection of essays by Eleonore Stump is an example of analytic and philosophical theology at its finest. For students, this is an invaluable introduction to the creative potential of philosophical theology. Even at the points where I disagree with her, Stump’s work continues to inspire me to drink more deeply of the wells of Christian intellectual history, biblical exegesis, art, and contemporary philosophy.”
—Joanna Leidenhag, University of Leeds

“Eleonore Stump’s work in philosophical and analytic theology is among the most influential, and for good reason. This excellent collection not only discusses the methodology of philosophical theology, but also illustrates the methodological richness that comes from careful engagement with biblical texts, historical theology, and direct knowledge of other people. Stump’s insight, engagement with Christian tradition, and breadth of scholarly mastery are on full display.”
