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.
This collection investigates the validity and potential of various theistic arguments originally proposed by Alvin Plantinga to determine if they provide a robust framework for the existence of God. The authors, Jerry Walls and Trent Dougherty, curate a series of essays from accomplished scholars who expand upon Plantinga's brief sketches. By utilizing diverse philosophical disciplines, the contributors aim to demonstrate that evidence for the divine can be identified across multiple dimensions of reality, including ethics, aesthetics, and semantics.
