7 Preface For two days, 7 and 8 April 1989, religious scholars from around the world gathered on the campus of Claremont McKenna College. This gathering has become something of an annual event since, in the spring of 1979, John Hick accepted his appointment as Danforth Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at The Claremont Graduate School. Under Hick's direction, the annual "Philosophy of Religion Conference" addresses a wide range of topics related to the philosophy of religion. Several of the conference proceedings have found their way into publication. But in this particular year there was to be a difference. The topic was John Hick's own work, following a suggestion from his academic colleagues in Claremont that it would be fitting to celebrate the achievements of a long and distinguished career, most recently recognized in the publication of Hick's 1986 Gifford Lectures under the title An Interpretation of Religion: Human Responses to the Transcendent. His colleagues thought it best to honour Hick not with a Festschrift (one is, incidentally, already in progress), but with the type of intellectual exchange by means of which Hick has invigorated those around him: the respectful but candid critique, replete with direct responses from the person whose ideas and works are being criticized. This collection of essays follows generally the pattern of the conference. During the conference, a paper analysing Hick's ideas was presented. It was followed by the reading of a prepared critical response. Then all conference participants, including John Hick, were invited to raise questions and offer insights. Finally, Hick was provided the opportunity to bring the discussion to a close by offering his final reply to the session. Similarly, each chapter presented here begins with a paper, is followed by a "Critical Response", and concludes with Hick's "Reply". I think the reader will be especially interested in Hick's "Reply" to each of the papers; each one is characteristically pointed and clear. This format will, I hope, not only prove useful to the reader, but also prove faithful to the spirited exchanges which characterized the conference. ix
8 x Preface The only exception to this format occurs in the case of Gerard Loughlin's paper. Loughlin, alas, could not attend the conference, and consequently there is no "Critical Response" to his essay. The papers in this collection address a wide variety of topics. Some of them renew discussion of familiar themes and criticisms. For example, there is Gerard Loughlin's critique of Hick's writings about the Incarnation; or William Rowe's excellent presentation of Hick on the problem of evil; or Frank Dilley's and Dan Stiver's discussions of the replica theory and life after death. However, most of the papers address An Interpretation of Religion. Gavin D'Costa argues that Hick's position in the work is ultimately self-contradictory. Chester Gillis provides a survey of what he regards as the new insights, possible shortcomings, and lasting contributions of the work. Robert Mesle argues that Hick's claim to have considered all intellectual and social movements appropriate to the task he defines for himself is insupportable in the case of humanism. June O'Connor echoes this concern in the case of feminist theology. Paul Badham analyses the work from a philosophical perspective. Finally, this book closes with two delightful narratives. The first, by Julius Lipner, challenges Hick's assertion that one cannot ascribe personal or non-personal attributes to the Real an sich. The second, by Joseph Prabhu, offers an alternative theology to that of Lipner and that of Hick. My review of the contents of this book is intentionally brief. The essays are lucid and can be appreciated by all interested readers, from scholars in related fields to students of religious studies to "laypersons" whose interest, perhaps, has been aroused by reading An Interpretation of Religion. I wish to acknowledge the contributions of Steven T. Davis, who served as Chair and organizer of the conference. The conference would not have been possible without the continuing support of The Claremont Graduate School, Claremont McKenna College, and Pomona College'S Department of Religion. Ellen Sun was especially helpful with conference logistics. The editorial staff of Macmillan Press have exhibited grace, patience and professionalism. Special thanks go to Sophie Lillington of Macmillan and to Graham Eyre, whose careful review of the text was most helpful. Linda Carlson-Hewitt ably helped with the page proofs. And, last but not least, I would like to thank each of the contributors for placing their trust in me and forgoing the customary privileges of
9 Preface xi the author in order to produce this volume in a relatively timely manner. I also bear responsibility for any errors in the text. Finally, this work is dedicated, appropriately I believe, by means of its title. Although this sentiment has been expressed in several of the individual essays, on behalf of all contributors, I wish to express gratitude once more to John Hick for providing us all with years of challenging thoughts, carefully expressed in his many published works. If this volume succeeds in furthering the discussion which John started, it will prove to be the fitting tribute that his colleagues intended. Claremont, California 4 March 1990 HAROLD HEWITI, JR
