Knowledge and Christian Belief
Alvin C PlantingaPaperback 2015-04-13
Leading Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga probes into what is meant by claims that Christian belief is irrational, and argues powerfully against the claims of the 'new atheists'. He also refutes several supposed 'defeaters' of Christian belief - pluralism, science, evil and suffering.
Publisher Description
:In his widely praised Warranted Christian Belief (Oxford, 2000) Alvin Plantinga discussed in great depth and at great length the question of the rationality, or sensibility, of Christian belief. In this book Plantinga presents the same ideas in a briefer, more accessible fashion.
Recognized worldwide as a leading Christian philosopher, Plantinga probes what exactly is meant by the claim that religious -- and specifically Christian -- belief is irrational and cannot sensibly be held. He argues that the criticisms of such well-known atheists as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens are completely wrong. Finally, Plantinga addresses several potential "defeaters" to Christian belief -- pluralism, science, evil and suffering -- and shows how they fail to successfully defeat rational Christian belief.
