Sinopsis

In Polydoxy, Dr. Alvin J. Reines has developed a wonderfully unique and new point of view in the philosophy of liberal religion. Polydoxy explores the reasons for personal religious freedom, the limits of this freedom, and the rich possibilities it offers to intelligent, thoughtful human beings.

Expanding on the nature of polydoxy, the author analyzes the "liberal" religions, drawing a distinction between orthodox liberal religions and polydox liberal religions. Dr. Reines' development of the concept of polydox religion is regarded by many as the most important theoretical advance in contemporary religious thought. It has come to exercise a profound influence upon many of the present generation of liberal religionists. This influence has produced new forms of religion: Polydox Reform Judaism, Polydox Christianity, and the Polydox fellowship (which brings together in one community adherents from all historical religions).

Reines describes the intriguing anatomy of liberal religions, analyzes their institutions, and critiques their doctrines. He has found that the vocabulary that has been used to express this new religious understanding is still tangled in a thicket of traditional concepts and shows how to make such language both clear and contemporary. He offers new definitions of "religion" and "theology."
