Description:	The following essays are presented in celebration of the publication of the fiftieth volume of the International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion. Since the publication of the first volume in 1970, there has emerged a new era in western philosophy of religion characterized by pluralism in content and method.* Some philosophers identify themselves as traditional theists, often returning to their roots in medieval philosophy. Others seek either to reconstruct the God of classical theism or in some cases leave it behind altogether. Persons often associate the first with Anglo-American or analytic approaches to the philosophy of religion and the latter with Continental or phenomenological approaches to philosophy of religion. There is some justification for this. It is not unusual to see the work of a contemporary analytic philosopher of religion begin with the declaration that by God he or she means the God of classical theism. By contrast the work of a philosopher of religion in the phenomenological tradition may begin with the declaration that theism in its traditional form has lost its credibility.
