Description
Following a critical review of previous theological scholarship on Heidegger and a survey of North American philosophy of religion, the book examines Heidegger’s philosophy of religion and its influence on the North American variety of the same.
Reviews
``The attempt by Williams to capture the American scene in order to make more plausible an extension of Heidegger's ontology is indeed a boldly conceived enterprise, one requiring a treatment at once unified and cohesive and which at first sight would seem so unusual as to be almost impossible to sustain. Nevertheless, it is a project which has been carried through with sincerity and thoroughness. ''
