Abstract
The essays in this volume grew out of a symposium in the early 2000s in Boston University’s Institute for Philosophy and Religion. The purpose of that symposium was to bring together a group of recent Ph.D.s in the philosophy of religion to discuss the future of their field. Many of the members of that group have now gone on to important positions of leadership in departments of Philosophy and the Study of Religion. In Spring 2017, we invited the members of that group to reconvene in Boston to reconsider the discussions of our first symposium and think again about the future of the field. With the addition of several new voices, the essays in this volume represent the results of that discussion and give a vivid account of the vitality and relevance of philosophical perspectives in the study of religion.
