God Actually Does Exist: A Critical Discussion of Nagasawa’s Perfect Being Theism

The Argument from Evil, the Argument from Hiddenness, and Supernaturalistic Alternatives to Theism
In this brief article, I consider James Sterba's logical argument from evil, finding it to be ultimately unsuccessful. Not for the various issues Sterba raises, which do seem to be problematic if God exists, but for the logical approach itself. I encourage Sterba to shift tack, to embrace the evidential argument from evil, which is not at all concessionary, as he seems to think, and is an extremely powerful argument against the probability of the…

Panentheism and Its Place in the History of Religion
A Brief Overview of the Many Alternatives to Classical Theism, and How to Decide between Them
In the analytic Philosophy of Religion, much ink has been spilt on the existence of some sort of supernatural reality.

In this article, I note that these premises could also lead to various alternative natura…

Reason and Faith: Themes from Richard Swinburne
Philosophy of religion has typically been concerned only with two alternatives: that classical theism is probably true, or that naturalism is probably true. But this is a false dichotomy. It can strengthen the case against theism to point out that there are alternatives to theism that are not naturalism either. Some of the authors considered here have come to see this point. Richard Swinburne has been one of the most influential analytic philosop…
