This collection of essays in honour of Santiago Sia is deeply rooted in the process thought of Charles Hartshorne and A. N. Whitehead. With contributors of the highest distinction, the essays are exercises in the philosophy of religion that are yet genuinely interdisciplinary, contextualizing philosophical thinking in areas that include ethics, theology, science, political theory, and the problem of suffering. They are outstanding examples of how to think with more than the intellect but also with vision and imagination and with a clear sense of the context of all thought in the demands of reality and the immediate world. The book provides a brilliant testimony to the career and commitment of Professor Sia as educator and thinker.

Brendan Sweetman's Philosophical Thinking and the Religious Context adds to his already-established reputation in Anglo-American philosophy of religion. Drawing largely on the contributions of process philosophy, the range and depth of the essays collected in this volume make it a worthy addition to personal as well as academic libraries. Scholars and students alike will benefit from the insightfulness, clarity, and rigor of essays that engage a number of key questions in contemporary philosophical reflection on religion and religious belief.

Publications on the philosophy of Charles Hartshorne are rather rare these days. However, the broad scope of the contributions in this volume, by authors from all over the globe, attests to both its liveliness and its fruitfulness, in almost all philosophical disciplines.

A. N. Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne were towering figures in philosophy and theology at a time when the two disciplines were widely thought to be irreconcilable. Their labors on behalf of reconciliation issued in the immensely influential perspective of process theism. This volume demonstrates that its influence and debate with classical theism continue unabated. Sweetman has assembled a remarkably balanced collection of essays given the range of issues addressed and the unique creativity of each author. Readers do well to understand the current application of process thought to areas where reflection matters most, including especially the relation between science and religion and the special challenge of the problem of evil.
