The Analytic Theist

A reader of Alvin Plantinga's work in philosophy of religion, edited by James F. Sennett and published by Eerdmans in 1998. It opens with a short chronology and an appreciation by Sennett and then gathers essays and book extracts under four heads: natural theology and atheology, including the free will defence and the ontological argument; Reformed epistemology, including "Reason and Belief in God" and "A Defense of Religious Exclusivism"; the divine nature and attributes, including Does God Have a Nature?; and Christian philosophy, including "Advice to Christian Philosophers." It closes with an afterword by Plantinga and a bibliography of his writings. The pieces had appeared separately before; the volume brings the main lines of his religious philosophy together before Warranted Christian Belief.
