Acknowledgements
This volume grew out of a conference sponsored by the Center for Philosophy of
Religion at the University of Notre Dame in September 2009. We are grateful to the staff
and graduate students involved with the Center for their assistance with that—especially
Joyce Zurawski, the Center's Program Coordinator, and Charity Anderson, the graduate
assistant who took the lead in managing all of the many details that needed attention
while the conference was in session. We are also grateful to the Henkels Lecture Series
and the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame for their generous
financial support, and (again) to Charity Anderson for preparing the manuscript for
publication.
