Endorsements: Mill on God is Professor Sells latest impressive study in a long list of substantial theological writings and historical and philosophical works on religion. Drawing upon several of Mills classic philosophical texts his posthumous publications on religion and a range of informal communications Sell has produced easily the best available introduction to Mills religious thought the intellectual context of his religious views and the reception of his ideas and arguments. This combative and elegant work of historical and philosophical interpretation teases out the important ambiguities and tensions in Mills thoughts and amply demonstrates the centrality of his concern with religion. --James E.
