Introductory Lectures on Religious Philosophy Amir Sabzevary

More than a series of lectures, this collection of dialogues addresses the following questions:

Canone be religious in modern, predominantly secular environments? What social and psychological functions do religions serve? Can one truly learn to live religious philosophies in the modern era?





Professor Sabzevary's intellectual dexterity is matched only by his clarity,



not only into perennial philosophical questions but also the modern



condition. Far from leaving religious concepts in the lofty confines of



tradition, Professor Sabzevary speaks a religious language with a modern



tongue, contrasting and ultimately reconciling ancient philosophy



with modern life. These dialogues place religious philosophies within



the practical and emotional difficulties of modernity, while moving in



a profound depth that taps into the wellspring from which all religious



philosophies draw their substance.
