Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason

"Tightly argued, superbly crafted and religiously sensitive...the book is 
a treasure trove.... Nowhere is there a comparable systematic, 
rigorous, intricate, rich, and sensitive examination of a plethora of such 
reasons [for divine hiddenness]. We are in Schellenberg's debt for 
gathering these things together in such an admirable fashion."
                                                -- Daniel Howard-Snyder, Mind

"The "divine hiddenness" argument is a philosophically interesting 
innovation in  a debate that has raged for millennia. Innovation in 
philosophy, especially an interesting innovation, is not an easy task, 
but Professor Schellenberg has  accomplished it."
                                      -- Jeffrey J. Jordan, University of Delaware

Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion

"Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion is loaded with acute and 
ingenious argumentation...a work of great originality...indispensable 
reading for everyone engaged, at whatever level, in the philosophy 
of religion."
                                                            -- William P. Alston

"This book focuses attention on much neglected topics, and it is fair,
balanced, and highly original in its treatment of those topics. This 
reader will find himself turning again and again to this volume for its 
deep insights into the nature of belief, of the religious life, and 
(most notably, perhaps) of faith." 
        -- Wes Morriston, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion

The Wisdom to Doubt: 
A Justification of Religious Skepticism

"The Wisdom to Doubt is full of important arguments, almost all of which
are highly original, and its pages sparkle with philosophical good sense. Much of what Schellenberg says in defense of religious skepticism is obvious, but for a variety of historical and cultural reasons, it is obvious
only after he says it. This makes the book particularly powerful and potentially very influential. It is, in short, philosophy of religion at its very best."
        -- Paul Draper, Journal of the American Academy of Religion

"[Schellenberg's] may well be the best presentation of the problem of evil as reason to reject theism that we have; certainly it is one of the very best. There is a complex, densely developed overall view here.... Right or wrong, it is first class philosophy of religion."
                                                        -- Keith Yandell, Mind

The Will to Imagine: 
A Justification of Skeptical Religion

"J. L. Schellenberg is one of the most innovative philosophers of
religion today. The Will to Imagine is rich with vigorous, challenging 
arguments on the limits of reason, skepticism, the nature of religious
faith, belief, and the imagination, and a sustained, original defense 
of a combination of skepticism and religious faith."
                                    -- Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College

"The creation of skeptical religion is the most significant contribution 
of philosophical thinking to religious life in our generation, and it is a 
privilege to be present at its inception."
                      -- Terence Penelhum, Religious Studies (forthcoming)
