About the Book

Thirty years ago, Alvin Plantinga gave a lecture called "Two Dozen (or so) Theistic Arguments," which served as an underground inspiration for two generations of scholars and students. In it, he proposed a number of novel and creative arguments for the existence of God which have yet to receive the attention they deserve. In Two Dozen (or so) Arguments for God, each of Plantinga's original suggestions, many of which he only briefly sketched, is developed in detail by a wide variety of accomplished scholars. The authors look to metaphysics, epistemology, semantics, ethics, aesthetics, and beyond, finding evidence for God in almost every dimension of reality. Those arguments new to natural theology are more fully developed, and well-known arguments are given new life. Not only does this collection present ground-breaking research, but it lays the foundations for research projects for years to come.

Review :
"Recommended." -- CHOICE "The volume's comprehensive scope, detailed treatment, and innovative character make it an essential text for those interested in the current state-of-play of natural theology within the analytic tradition" -- Robert MacSwain, Reading Religion "this is an essential volume for those interested in current trends in natural theology ... it is hard to imagine subsequent treatments of theistic arguments not using this volume as a regular point of reference, just as with the original lecture that inspired it." -- Robert MacSwain, Reading Religion "Proofs for the existence of God are always of interest to theologians and philosophers of religion, and the prospect of seriously considering 'two dozen or so' of them from Plantinga is mouth-watering. The arguments themselves are novel and fascinating, and treated by authors of extraordinarily high quality."--Stephen Davis, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College
