Warranted Christian Belief
4.60 out of 5 stars
Description
Plantinga's project is to show that Christian belief is warranted, and thus, that it is knowledge if it is true. He argues that theistic belief is not only rational but also warranted, and that it is the atheistic worldview that is epistemically unacceptable.

In the culmination of his trilogy on warrant, Alvin Plantinga delves into the intricate relationship between warrant and theistic belief. He poses fundamental questions: Is it rational, reasonable, and justifiable to accept Christian doctrine? Does embracing Christian belief come with epistemological consequences? Plantinga's central argument is that Christian beliefs, when formed by properly functioning cognitive faculties, possess warrant and thus constitute knowledge if true. His overarching goal is to demonstrate that Christian belief is warranted, thereby rendering it knowledge if its claims hold true. Through a meticulous examination, Plantinga reveals that theistic belief is not only rational but also warranted, implying that atheistic worldviews are, in fact, epistemically flawed. By challenging the notion that Christian belief is inherently problematic, Plantinga's work offers a compelling defense of the rationality and warrant of Christian theology.
