Philosophy of Religion

Nowadays, the interdisciplinary study, for its part, has put another arena in front of religious scholars, and all these issues together place new and important responsibilities on traditional and religious sciences centers, as well as academic hubs that work in the field of religious studies. Today, more than ever, we need thinkers and scholars of theology like Allameh Jafari, who lived and investigated in the traditional atmosphere of, and also faced the new approaches to, theology. While adhering to the old fundamentals of religious studies, he tried to have an interdisciplinary view of traditional religious studies and, based on those lofty and solid foundations, to open new horizons in the field whenever facing new problems and approaches in theological studies. Therefore, it is appropriate and necessary today that his individual performance become a movement of religious studies in our centers for religious sciences. In the current era, the centers for religious sciences need to nurture religious scholars who are both experts in the traditional fields of theological studies and familiar (even proficient) in the fields of modern religious studies, so that they can provide appropriate solutions and profound religious answers when faced with new issues in those fields. The present book is an example of religious study that a religious scholar, specialized in traditional seminary sciences and proficient in modern human sciences, has tried with continuous jurisprudence to utilize the facilities of Islamic tradition and culture and modern thoughts in facing new issues. Therefore, this book is worthy of deliberation for religious scholars who wish to seek a base both in the traditional as well as in the modern world.
