John Hick has negotiated that mysterious transition that awaits us all. Here is one take on his passing. I saw him in action only once. I recall him questioning whether Jesus ever claimed to be God. An ill-mannered colleague of mine attacked him for that, churlishly. Hick retained his equaninimity, projecting a superiority that was yet without a trace of superciliousness. That impressed me and furnished me with yet another insight into the hierarchy of the spirit and the inequality of human beings.
Hick's An Interpretation of Religion: Human Responses to the Transcendent is required reading for philosophers of religion. I have two posts on Hick.
