These essays represent an important contribution to modern philosophical theology.

The latter essays examine particular arguments raised by specific religious concepts, covering such topics as the problem of evil, conspicuous sanctity, atonement, and the Eucharist. Drawn from a wide spectrum of philosophers and theologians, the contributors include Maurice Wiles, Grace M. Jantzen, Gordon Kaufman, J.R. Lucas, Rom Harre, Richard Swinburne, and Michael Dummett.Abraham, William J. is the author of 'Rationality of Religious Belief: Essays in Honour of Basil Mitchell', published 1987 under ISBN 9780198266754 and ISBN 0198266758.
