This text, by the author of ""The Pragmatic Philosophy of William James"", provides a critical analysis of James's philosopy of religion. It examines and extends his insights and arguments, exhibiting their depth and contemporary relevance.

"It is no surprise that William James's philosophy continues to draw creative and critical interpretations. Ellen Kappy Suckiel's is another such reading, but one that is neither narrowly analytic nor obtusely continental in its philosophical approach. It is fair-minded, well-documented, and sprinkled with important insights and connections to other current philosophical approaches to religion." -The Journal of Religion
