What’s New in….Philosophy of Religion
Daniel Hill describes how the work of Alvin Plantinga has revolutionised Philosophy of Religion.
Mind you, this is not about how this or that Catholic or this or that Calvinist views God and religion. Let alone the existential relationship between “morality here and now” and “immortality there and then”. Instead, it’s about how “philosophers of religion” speak of these two Christian paths such that the actual lives of those on them, and the behaviors that they choose will hardly ever come up.
Indeed just noting the two paths may well be as far as they go.
For some reason, this is important to know. For you perhaps.
On the other hand, there is still no actual God around for them to study epistemologically. To, for example, ascertain how God can know things.
Get it? Not books about the existence of an actual God who has revealed Himself, or who has been beyond all doubt demonstrated to exist by mere mortals. Instead it is books that focus solely in on how the belief in God can be justified in arguments. A God/the God created epistemologically. Not unlike what a lot of the posters here attempt. And since this God exists only in the author’s head there’s no reason yet to bring Him “out into the world”. Not until the arguments for and against His existence themselves have been…resolved.
