"Thirty years ago, Alvin Plantinga gave a lecture called "Two Dozen (or so) Theistic Arguments," which served as an underground inspiration for two generations of scholars and students. In it, he proposed a number of novel and creative arguments for the existence of God which have yet to receive the attention they deserve. In Two Dozen (or so) Arguments for God, each of Plantinga's original suggestions, many of which he only briefly sket ..."

The Problem of Animal Pain A Theodicy For All Creatures Great And Small (Palgrave Frontiers in Philosophy of Religion) by TrentDougherty, Yujin Nagasawa, Erik Wielenberg Hardcover, 197 Pages, Published 2014 by Palgrave Macmillan ISBN-13: 978-0-230-36848-4, ISBN: 0-230-36848-4
"The problem of evil constitutes the greatest challenge to rational belief in the existence of God. Animal suffering constitutes perhaps the most powerful version of the problem. Considerations that render human suffering theologically intelligible seem inapplicable to non-human animals. It is commonly held that they do not have morally significant free will, they do not have immortal souls, and they do not have a direct relationship wit ..."
"New Essays Trent Dougherty, Justin P. McBrayer ... This is why Gregory of
Nazianzus makes it a cardinal principle of his theological outlook that the
knowledge of God is inseparably related to the condition of the human knower.13
A common refrain in Gregory's work, and in many other patristic writers, is that “
purification” (κάθαρσις) is a prerequisite for theologizing, where purification is a
radical but costly process of transfor ..."

"But given that this might not be a normal world, there is obviously no necessary
connection on this account between having justified beliefs and having mostly
true beliefs, or even having justified beliefs and having mostly true beliefs in '
close' possible worlds. David Henderson and Terrence Horgan (2007) have
toyed with the idea of introducing the notion of transglobal reliability (a kind of
super reliability) in defining a conce ..."

evidence, including the problem that logical relations only hold among
propositions."
"There are hundreds of logic tests in print, but none like this one.(1) This is the only complete system of classical Aristotelian logic in print. The "old logic" is still the natural logic of the four language arts (reading, writing, speaking, and listening). Symbolic, or "mathematical," logic may be superior to classical "ordinary-language" Aristotelian logic for the sciences, but not for the humanities, and is more sophisticated theor ..."
"Given that we meet evils in every quarter of the world, could it be governed by an all-good and all-powerful deity? Whilst some philosophers argue that the problem of evil is strong evidence for atheism, others claim that all of the evils in our world can be explained as requirements for deeper goods. On the other hand, skeptical theists believe in God, but struggle with the task of explaining the role of evils in our world. Skeptica ..."

"Few concepts have been considered as essential to the theory of knowledge and rational belief as that of evidence. The simplest theory which accounts for this is evidentialism, the view that epistemic justification for belief--the kind of justification typically taken to be required for knowledge--is determined solely by considerations pertaining to one's evidence. In this ground-breaking book, leading epistemologists from across the s ..."
