Book Reviews of Warranted Christian Belief
Book Review: A Shallow Treatment
Summary: 3 Stars
Plantinga's third book is an extension of his general account of warrant applied to Christian belief. It reads, in many places, like a retread of the earlier work. And one feels let down by how much work hasn't been done. Honestly, the book is a shallow substitute for heartening religious scholarship. There is nothing in Platinga's work here that is original, truly insightful, or spiritual. Rather, it reads like a manual for debating atheists. Even a philosopher in the Analytic tradition has to despair at the lack of substance, at the repetitive nature of the material, and at the almost trivial conclusion that Christian beliefs can and do have warrant. But we Christians should wonder whether warrant isn't found elsewhere -- in the mystical, the mysterious, and the patently non-logical. Then the atheist's threat can be seen as a debater's threat, to be set aside while the truly important work is done. That work is not even broached here . . .
