The Theology of Scarecrows

ISBN-13: 978-1304679079

Leslie Stevenson taught Philosophy at St.Andrews University in Scotland from 1968-2000, and is now Honorary Reader (retired). He is co-author of Twelve Theories of Human Nature (6th edition), Oxford University Press 2012, and The Many Faces of Science (2nd edition), Westview Press 2000, and author of Open to New Light: An introduction to Quaker spirituality in historical and philosophical context, Imprint Academic, 2012. He is a keen amateur bassoon-player. This is his first attempt at fiction, and though some of his stories contain philosophical or theological themes, they are meant to be enjoyable just as stories.

Review

‘This is a wonderful little book of stories! It’s full of charm and Britishness and makes me smile and chuckle as I read. At the same time it manages to create suspense, making me genuinely curious how the stories will end – and which philosophical point is in the background of what is happening. I highly recommend it!’
