Ebook: Richard Swinburne: Christian Philosophy in a Modern World

Richard Swinburne is one of the most influential contemporaryproponents of the analytical philosophy of religion. He is, aboveall, a traditional theist, i.e. he believes, that there exists an eternal,uncreated and immaterial perfect soul called "God" whichis omnipotent, omniscient, perfectly free, morally perfect andthe creator and sustainer of the universe. However, his interestsare very wide-ranging. He has written on almost every centraltheological and philosophical issue such as epistemology, metaphysics,theory of mind and ethics. Swinburne is particularlywell-known for his perceptive defense of what some would call"time-honored", and others might call "old-fashioned" philosophicaldoctrines.
