Reviews
"""His thesis is both controversial and straightforward...His arguments are clear, forceful, and often compelling... The result is a feisty and formidable work, one that deserves a broad reception and careful evaluation."" --Trinity Journal ""Where the Conflict Really Lies is an ambitious volume.... A careful reading repays the reader with insights developed by one of the sharpest minds in the conversation.""--Karl W. Giberson, The Christian Century ""Recommended for readers seeking a rigorous philosophical survey of complex religious thought. "" --Publisher's Weekly Religion Bookline ""It's astonishing that so many scientists, philosophers, and theologians think there is a serious conflict between science and theistic religion. In this superb book, the world's leading philosopher of religion explains, with characteristic wit and perceptiveness, why none of the main reasons for thinking there is such a conflict are even remotely successful."" --Mike Bergmann, Purdue University ""Argues that these is superficial conflict but deep concord between science and theistic religion, but that there is superficial concord and deep conflict between science and naturalism.""--The Chronicle Review ""It is never philosophically superficial...I expect the book to generate considerable secondary literature.""--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"
<br> It's astonishing that so many scientists, philosophers, and theologians think there is a serious conflict between science and theistic religion. In this superb book, the world's leading philosopher of religion explains, with characteristic wit and perceptiveness, why none of the main reasons for thinking there is such a conflict are even remotely successful. --Mike Bergmann, Purdue University <br><br><p><br>
Plantinga is at his most persuasive when exhibiting defeats in the naturalist world-view. Anthony Kenny, Times Literary Supplement Plantinga is an intellectual heavyweight in the philosophy of religion, and those who want to keep abreast of the best work in this area would be well advised to read this long-awaited contribution. The Tablet Alvin Plantinga is one of the most eminent philosophers in the world, and a book from him on science and religion is of the first importance. It is a joy to see how he uses precise logical analysis to counter the arguments of his opponents, and issue a trenchant defence of Christian thought. Keith Ward, Third Way
