Subsequent novels and collections have continue to appear from such imprints as Holt, Rinehart and Winston; Random House; Alfred A. Knopf; Ithaca House; and Sun & Moon.

The Innate Capacity
This book is the sequel to Robert Forman's well-received collection, The Problem of Pure Consciousness (Oxford, 1990).

Moreover, Christian theology has had a dynamic character that enabled it to adapt to more than one philosophy depending on the need of the time. For instance, it shifted in accordance with the change from Neo-Platonism to Aristotelianism in the thirteen century. However, this dynamism has been absent since the dawn of modernity, when reason became identified with modern science to disastrous results. While the advent of postmodernism has brought the limits of modernism to light, it has done nothing to establish the rationality of religion, other than to treat religion as a cultural phenomenon along with science. This book conceives fundamental theology as a discipline that seeks religious truth in the midst of diverse perspectives, ranging from militant atheism to violent religious fanaticism.
