The taped lectures of Alan Watts have inspired a generation. Now, in handsomely designed little volumes, of which this is the first, they are appearing in print form. Few people in the middle of the century spoke as eloquently as Watts about Zen. Here, five of his justly famous lectures?three of the so-called "Japan Lectures" and two, delivered on his Sausalito house boat, on Tibetan Buddhism?are now transcribed and compiled. Especially welcome is the transcription of the renowned "Religion of No Religion" lecture in which some of the most difficult Buddhist concepts are presented with such lucidity as to make us gasp. Watts, an Episcopal priest who became a Zen scholar, was an accomplished stylist; and although his famous voice and happy laughter are missing now, his penetrating vision of Buddhism remains, and his lectures become brilliant prose in book form. This series, and this volume in particular, will be important to any new student of the Easts religions.

A collection of essays which explores the significance of Wittgenstein for the Philosophy of Religion. Explorations of central notions in Wittgenstein's later philosophy are brought to bear on the clash between belief and atheism; understanding religious experience; language and ritual; evil and theodicies; miracles; and the possibility of a Christian philosophy.

Since the emergence of religious studies and the social sciences as academic disciplines, the concept of "magic" has played a major role in defining religion and in mediating the relation of religion to science. Across these disciplines, magic has regularly been configured as a definitively non-modern phenomenon, juxtaposed to distinctly modern models of religion and science. Yet this notion of magic has remained stubbornly amorphous.

Walter Kaufmann devoted his life to exploring the religious implications ol literary and philosophical texts. Deeply skeptical about the human and moral bene? ts of modern secularism, he also criticized the quest for certainty pursued through dogma. Kaufmann saw a risk of loss of authenticity in what he described as unjusti? ed retreats into the past. Th is is a compilation of signi? cant texts on religious thought that he selected and introduced. Th e organization of this anthology reveals the breadth and scope of Kaufmann's interests. It includes chapters on neo-Th omism and writings of morally engaged existentialists along with Kaufmann's introductory remarks. Gottfried's new introduction thoroughly explains Kaufmann's beliefs and relates them to various nineteenth-century philosophers of religion, including Mendelssohn, Goethe, Nietzsche, and Tolstoy. Religion from Tolstoy to Camus is of continuing importance to philosophers, theologians, historians, and students of religious literature.

Even though America was founded upon a belief that its mission was providentially ordained, its foreign policy decisions have failed to recognise the growing significance of religious faith as a global concern. With an eye on the turbulent century ahead, "God and Global Order" implores policy makers to recognise the power of faith to inform and enhance U.S. foreign policy. The contributors warn that ignoring the far-reaching role of faiths (those both religious and secular) and their influence upon international agendas could carry disastrous consequences - both for the U.S. and for the larger global order.

Most people, when they think about the purported conflict between science and religion, would most likely think first of evangelical Protestantism. Because of the prominent place evolution versus creationism - and such events as the Scopes Trial - has had in the debates over science and religion, many people think of evangelicals as hostile to science. As with other volumes in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion series, this work addresses the more complex interworkings between modern science and evangelical Christianity. Creationism will feature prominently, of course, but there will be other chapters covering other aspects of this relationship - geology, environmental issues, and technology.
