An Inquiry

Westminster College-Oxford: Critical Studies in Religion

Uncertainty, fear, personal crises, and a search for a sense of self have motivated many to seek traditional religion. But today new, more modern spiritualities vie for adherents. What are these spiritualities and how do they differ from traditional beliefs? Who is seeking them and why'? What benefits do they promise, and do they deliver? These and other questions prompted 15 scholars in theology, biblical history, philosophy, anthropology, and science to convene at Westminster College-Oxford to explore answers for today and into the next century.

Contributors include: Joe E. Barnhart, Clinton Bennett, H. James Birx, Laurence Brown, Margaret Cbatterjee, Bernard C. Farr, Robert Fisher, Antony Flew, R. Joseph, Hoffmann, Paul Kurtz, Justin Meggitt, Peggy Morgan, Isabel Mukonyora, James Penney, and Victor Stenger.

LAURENCE BROWN teaches at the Alister Hardy Research Center. BERNARD C. C. FARR (Oxford) is Head of the School of Theology, Westminster College. R. JOSEPH HOFFMANN (Oxford) is Senior Lecturer and Research Fellow at Westminster College.
