Reviews

The most distinguished British philosopher of religion of his generation, Richard Swinburne has made a monumental contribution to the analysis and defense of theistic belief generally and Christian belief in particular. Conversations in Religion and Theology Swinburne's argument is both powerful and provocative ... he has effectively linked background knowledge, prior historical evidence, and posterior historical evidence in a distinctive argument for a traditional Christology. Conversations in Religion and Theology The Resurrection of God Incarnate is a very good book. It will substantially enrich the contemporary conversation regarding the identity of Jesus, and it deserves to be read by any theologian, philosopher of religion, New Testament scholar, or historian interested in the emergence of Christianity. Conversations in Religion and Theology ... well-organised, precise, rigorous and unevasive ... read the book one will learn much. The Tablet Swinburne's book is densely argued. He writes with great clarity, explaining carefully any technical language that he uses. This book often demands close attention from the reader, but it remains accessible. It's argument is breathtaking in its simplicity and scope, and it offers point after point which preachers and teachers might use as pegs on which to hang expository material in sermons or in other contexts ... this book is an outstanding tour de force which offers much to those who would proclaim the resurrection today.
