What is Peirce and Religion: Knowledge, Transformation, and the Reality of God (American Philosophy Series) about?

Charles Sanders Peirce is one of the most original voices in American philosophy. His scientific career and his goal of proving scientific logic provide rich material for philosophical development. Peirce was also a life-long Christian and member of the Episcopal Church. Roger Ward traces the impact of Peirce’s religion and Christianity on the development of Peirce’s philosophy. Peirce’s religious framework is a key to his development of pragmatism and normative science in terms of knowledge and moral transformation. Peirce’s argument for the reality of God is a culmination of both his religious devotion and his life-long philosophical development. ** Review Roger Ward's research on the roots of Peirce's Christianity produces great fruit for his readers -- namely a counter-narrative to those Peirce scholars in Indianapolis and in Toronto who continually conceal the significance of Peirce's Christian convictions and ways-of-thinking. This book offers a helpful and interesting contribution to American Philosophy, especially concerning the religious nature of pragmatism. In my judgment, this book ought to be taught or utilized in courses on American Philosophy. (Jacob L. Goodson, So
