Edited by Philosophy
of Religion instructor Ian Weeks and Anglican
priest Duncan Reid, A Thoughtful Life: Essays in Philosophical Theology
is an anthology of articles written by a diversity learned friends,
students, and colleagues of philosophical theology professor Harry
Wardlaw, known for his openness and the intense focus and scrutiny he
applied to any question presented to him. The essays include "On
the Difficulty of Talking about God", "A Jewish Experience of
Jesus", "In Defiance of Fig Leaves: A Tangential Reflection on
the Sexuality Debate in the UCA", and many more. Written with
scholarly precision, these essays combine thought-provoking insight with
respectful tribute for Wardlaw's rigorous search for theological,
philosophical, and spiritual truth. "I vividly recall Harry Wardlaw
posing to me the question, 'What is wrong with me when I talk about
God?' He was not suggesting that 'God-talk,' as it came
to be short-handedly referred to, was some sort of symptom of a
pathological state, but rather to the general absurdity of an attempt to
talk sense about so great a mystery." Highly recommended.
