Finally, Plantinga addresses several potential challenges to Christian belief-pluralism, science, evil, and suffering-and shows how they fail to successfully defeat rational Christian belief. He argues that the criticisms of such well-known atheists as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens are completely wrong. Recognized worldwide as a leading Christian philosopher, Plantinga explores the meaning behind the claim that Christian belief is irrational and cannot sensibly be held. In this book, Plantinga presents the same ideas in a briefer, more accessible fashion. In his widely-praised Warranted Christian Belief, Alvin Plantinga discussed in great depth the question of the rationality, or sensibility, of Christian belief.
