Similarly, Professor Keith Ward provides an insight into Hick's ideas: I regard John Hick as the best philosopher of religion of the twentieth century. If that seems extreme, he is certainly of the first rank. His little book 'Philosophy of Religion' would make a good introduction to his work. But his major works are 'Faith and Knowledge' , an early work whose influence remained present throughout his later development; 'Evil and the God of Love'. a classic on that topic, 'Death and Eternal Life', an excellent treatment of immortality, and 'An Interpretation of Religion', which expounds his pluralistic hypothesis. Each of these books provides a clear personal theory, and also contains surveys of most relevant writings in these areas. His writings on the Incarnation and on arguments for God are also notable for their clarity and for his articulation of original viewpoints. John insisted on being called a philosopher, much influenced by Kant, and taking a very broad view of many religions as more or less equally valid pathways to a spiritual reality. I believe his work will be very important for the positive development of informed and charitable interpretations of liberal religious faith.
