Robert Cummings Neville has been a consistent advocate for the necessity of global theology. Early in his career, he realized that the philosophical framework of the West alone was inadequate for a truly global theology. Since then, he has sought to develop theology creatively and responsibly within the world context. The original essays in the volume participate in and model the kind of dialogical, global theology embodied in Neville’s work.

Review
Robert Neville is unquestionably one of the most prolific and creative philosopher/theologians of our time. Yet his metaphysical system is not without its critics as well as its admirers. Comments by these "friendly critics" together with Neville's measured response make for interesting reading in this Festschrift on the occasion of his 65th birthday. —Joseph A. Bracken, S.J., Professor of Theology, Xavier University (Joseph Braken )
"The wide-ranging contributions to this volume aptly attest to the provocation of Robert Neville's brilliant achievement as a foremost natural theologian of pragmatic and pluralistic sensibilities uninhibited by Kant's foreclosure of metaphysical reasoning. Wildman's introductory essay alone, with Neville's response, is worth the price of this book by providing the kind of illuminating critical appraisal that represents the highest scholarly tribute colleagues can pay to one another." —Christopher Morse, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Professor of Theology and Ethics, Union Theological Seminary (Christopher Morse )
'When so much is being 'globalised', why not theology? The contribution to this high endeavour of Robert Neville, Professor of Philosophy, Religion and Theology at Boston University, deserves to be better known. This engagement with his thought by two dozen scholoars, mainly Christian,but including representatives of Islam, Daoism, Buddishm and Advaita Veanta, is a welcome introduction and assessment.' (Andrew Morton Expository Times )
