| Summary: | Philosophy of religion in the Anglo-American tradition experienced a 'rebirth' following the 1955 publication of New Essays in Philosophical Theology (eds. Antony Flew and Alisdair MacIntyre). Fifty years later, this volume of essays offers a sampling of the best work in what is now a very active field, written by some of its most prominent members. A substantial introduction sketches the developments of the last half-century, while also describing the 'ethics of belief' debate in epistemology and showing how it connects to explicitly religious concerns and to the topics of the individual contributions. These topics include: the relationship between God and the natural laws; the metaphysics of bodily resurrection; the role of appeal to 'mystery' in the religious life; the justification of both theistic belief generally and more specific doctrinal beliefs; and the social-political aspects of religious faith and practice. Can God break the laws? / Alvin Plantinga -- Sleeping beauty and the afterlife / Linda Zagzebski -- Free will, evil, and divine providence / Derk Pereboom -- Two cheers for mystery! / William Alston -- The probability of the Resurrection / Richard Swinburne -- Is God an unnecessary hypothesis? / Peter van Inwagen -- Direct warrant realism / Keith DeRose -- The epistemic authority of testimony and the ethics of belief / Robert Audi -- Kant on the rational instability of atheism / John Hare -- Does forgiveness undermine justice? / Nicholas Wolterstorff -- Can good Christians be good liberals? / Philip L. Quinn |
