BASIC QUESTIONS IN THEOLOGY, Volume 2 WOLFHART PANNENBERG's scholarship represents a radically new approach to some of the central issues of both philosophy and theology. In this group of essays he takes up the concerns of truth, faith, reason, atheism, God, and hope. Volume 1 of Basic Questions in Theology was published in 1970. "Wolfhart Pannenberg believes that the passion for truth is inseparable from authentic Christian theology and that therefore a meeting of theology, philosophy, and science is required today. The result as developed in these essays is a constructive theological position with strong historical roots and contemporary relevance." -Daniel Williams, Unionr Theological Seminary. $9.75

PERSPECTIVES ON PAUL ERNST KASEMANN, one of today's leading theologians, brings his characteristic perception to bear on Paul's thought. In these essays Kisemann writes with the dual insights of a biblical scholar and a concerned Christian. His central theme is justification seen in the light of Paul's eschatology. Kasemann further shows that Paul's thought contains signs of an emerging hermeneutic. The author supplements his own thesis by entering into controversial dialog with the ideas of Rudolf Bultmann, Johannes Munck, Krister Stendahl, and others. An important work in New Testament studies. $6.95

MEANING AND METHOD ANDERS NYGREN, a distinguished Scandanavian scholar, has made a fresh study of themes he examined in his early writings. Meaning and Method gathers up the results of a lifetime of thought in the areas of philosophy, theology, and the philosophy of religion. "Nygren's toughminded approach to theological issues here is exercised over the recent philosophies and philosophers-everything from Carnap to Wittgenstein; from Russell to linguistic analysis; from Collingwood to modern phenomenology. Few theologians have the capacity to think so broadly.yet so systematically as Nygren. All this he does in the interest of New Testament Christianity."--Paul*L. Holmer, Yale Divinity School. $12.95 JESUS-WORD AND PRESENCE PETER C. HODGSON moves beyond the experience of God's absence as expressed in the death of God theology and in the theologies of the future. Here he proposes language as the key to recovering a sense of God's presence. Emphasizing the historical Jesus and the risen Christ working in the world today, Hodgson evaluates the ideas of Gerhard Ebeling, Jurgen Moltmann, Wolfhart Pannenberg, Karl Rahner, and others. Hodgson is an important young American theologian whose book will be indispensable for anyone engaged in the study of Christology or religious language. $9.95 MARK-TRADITIONS IN CONFLICT THEODORE WEEDEN offers original and provocative answers to some of the puzzles concerning the composition of Mark's Gospel. Weeden's thesis is that Mark wrote to settle a Christological dispute raging in his community. From this standpoint, the author deals with major critical questions about Mark, bringing together and assessing previous interpretations. "One of the most exciting books on Mark and the interpretation of Mark to appear in recent years."-Norman Perrin, University of Chicago. "The kind of fundamental research that frees the mind from preconceptions about Mark so as to enable the reader to see the book fresh and new."-Neill Q. Hamilton, San Francisco Theological Seminary and Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. $6.95

Macmillan's Religion Titles for 1972

WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING RELIGION Edited by Walter H. Capps, University of California, Santa Barbara

This book of readings forms a supplementary text for a first course in com- parative religion or the phenomenon of religion. The selections demonstrate the important approaches to understanding religion and map the reasons be- hind various approaches to study. Both classical and modern scholars are represented in a variety of recurrent themes that indicate how the study of religion draws from many disciplines. Seven different patterns of thought are discussed in 41 essays studying the core elements in religion; the growth of religion; describable features and manifestations; comparison by study of lands, peoples, and customs; theology in religion; religious expression; and how religion affects personality. A general introduction sets the tone for the texts, and introductions, biographical notes, and bibliographies in each section further aid the reader.

1972, approx. 416 pages, paper, prob. $4.95

GOD AND REASON: A HISTORICAL APPROACH TO PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY By Ed. L. Miller, University of Colorado, Boulder

Intended for introductory philosophy of religion courses taught in either phi- losophy or religion departments, this book is comprehensive both in terms of topics covered and in terms of the philosophers and theologians discussed. The author studies the traditional arguments concerning God's existence and also considers existential positions and the new theologies. Professor Miller adopts a generally historical orientation and views philosophical issues in light of the broad sweep of classical as well as contemporary positions. Written in a sharp, provocative writing style, the subject matter invites the interest of the student. The book brings a structure and cohesion to courses relying on readers and brief supplements. It may also serve as a supplement to large philosophy of religion texts. The author's unusual sensitivity to theological issues, the breadth of coverage, and the relative briefness make this book an invaluable bridge between philosophy and theology.

1972, approx. 224 pages, paper, prob. $3.50
