Choice

For anyone unfamiliar with the influential work of Alvin Plantinga, this book will help to make up an unfortunate deficit.

New Oxford Review

"Plantinga clearly remains an outstanding resource for Christian philosophers in the academy today. The Analytic Theist offers an excellent introductory anthology of his writings, with a large cross section of representative material, as well as some lesser known but valuable essays.... Plantinga is an "analytic" philosopher, intensely focused on close analysis of logical arguments, so some selections will prove quite challenging. Yet one certainly need not be an "analytic" philosopher or even a professional in philosophy to benefit from the book."
