Notes

  1. 1.

    In addition to work in the philosophy of religion, Raschke had co-authored an unusual and provocative survey text in comparative religion with Mark C. Taylor and James Kirk (Raschke et al. 1977) and sociological and historical interpretation of the so-called third awakening or New Age movement of the 1970s (Raschke 1980a). Although fascinating, these nonphilosophical works are not discussed here because of their limited relationship to radical theology.
