Description
Summary:This paper evaluates Nancey Murphy's contribution to philosophy of religion paying special attention to epistemology and ethics. I argue that Murphy's intellectual moves are motivated by a reflective and constructive engagement - around particular loci such as human knowledge, divine action, and the moral nature of the universe - with reductive materialism as a rival tradition of inquiry. At paper's end, I suggest an amendment in Murphy's contribution to ethics.
