Most intriguingly, this is happening . . . in the crisp, intellectual circles of academic philosophers. . . . Now it is more respectable among philosophers than it has been for a generation to talk about the possibility of God's existence.\" Relying on boldness and rigorous thought, the movers and shakers of this \"quiet revolution\" have developed their theories against the rising tide of strict empiricism. Who are these tough-minded intellectuals, and why have they embraced Christian belief? In \u003ci\u003ePhilosophers Who Believe\u003c\/i\u003e several key thinkers answer this question with unusual candor, warmth and brilliance.Contributors include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlvin Plantinga\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e University of Notre Dame, considered the world's leading Protestant philosopher of God.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBasil Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Oxford University, author of such groundbreaking books as \u003ci\u003eThe Justification of Religious Belief.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMortimer Adler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Institute for Philosophical Research, renowned for his prolific writings and his work to revive an emphasis on the \"Great Books\" in higher education.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNicholas Wolterstorff\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yale University, whose innovative work has led to invitations to deliver the distinguished Wilde Lectures at Oxford and Gifford Lectures in Scotland.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRichard Swinburne\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Oxford University, the premier rational apologist of our age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrederick Suppe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e University of Maryland at College Park, a premier philosopher of science.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJohn Rist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e University of Toronto, expert on the late Ancient and early Medieval periods of philosophy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLinda Zagzebski\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Loyola Marymount University, recognized for her work on divine foreknowledge and human freedom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStephen Davis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Claremont McKenna College, author of books on topics ranging from the nature of God to the inspiration of Scripture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTerence Penelhum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e University of Calgary (professor emeritus), acclaimed for research on skepticism and religious belief in the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment eras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNicholas Rescher\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e University of Pittsburgh, prolific author and editor of prestigious scholarly journals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of a \u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e book award for the original cloth edition, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophers Who Believe\u003c\/i\u003e is now available in paperback.
