Two Dozen (or so) Arguments for God cover

This collection expands on Plantinga's original lecture, presenting detailed arguments for God's existence from various philosophical perspectives, making it a vital resource for scholars and students alike.

In Two Dozen (or so) Arguments for God, Alvin Plantinga's influential lecture is expanded into a comprehensive collection that explores various theistic arguments. This book features contributions from a diverse group of scholars who delve into Plantinga's original ideas, many of which were only briefly mentioned in his initial presentation. The authors engage with a wide range of philosophical disciplines, including metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, to uncover evidence for the existence of God across multiple dimensions of reality.

The collection serves not only as an exploration of Plantinga's arguments but also as a platform for future research in natural theology. By developing both new arguments and revitalizing well-known ones, the scholars provide a rich tapestry of thought that invites readers to reconsider the foundations of their beliefs. Each chapter presents a unique perspective, offering insights that are both profound and accessible, making the content relevant for both seasoned philosophers and those new to the subject.

Two Dozen (or so) Arguments for God stands as a significant contribution to contemporary discussions on theistic philosophy. It inspires ongoing dialogue and encourages further inquiry into the nature of belief and the existence of God. The book not only pays homage to Plantinga's original work but also sets the stage for the next generation of philosophical exploration in this vital area of study.

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 *
