Leading Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga probes into what is meant by claims that Christian belief is irrational, and argues powerfully against the claims of the 'new atheists'. He also refutes several supposed 'defeaters' of Christian belief - pluralism, science, evil and suffering.

In his widely praised *Warranted Christian Belief* (Oxford, 2000) Alvin Plantinga discussed in great depth and at great length the question of the rationality, or sensibility, of Christian belief. In this book Plantinga presents the same ideas in a briefer, more accessible fashion.

Recognized worldwide as a leading Christian philosopher, Plantinga probes what exactly is meant by the claim that religious -- and specifically Christian -- belief is irrational and cannot sensibly be held. He argues that the criticisms of such well-known atheists as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens are completely wrong. Finally, Plantinga addresses several potential "defeaters" to Christian belief -- pluralism, science, evil and suffering -- and shows how they fail to successfully defeat rational Christian belief.

Accessible introduction to Reformed epistemology
This book is Plantinga's more accessible introduction to Reformed epistemology. It is aimed at a wider audience than his earlier, more technical books. He does an excellent job of clearly explaining the Reformed epistemology approach, with readable language, plenty of illustrations, and review of previous chaptes at the start and end of most chapters. It is still challenging material due to the nature of the content, but an excellent starting point for anyone wanting an accessible introduction.

A solid defense
In this book, Plantinga gives a strong introduction to Reformed Epistemology - the thesis that Christians can be warranted in believing in Christianity, even in the absence of arguments. The writing is clear and accessible for a non-expert, without sacrificing on philosophical rigour. """"Knowledge and Christian Belief"""" has changed the way I think about knowledge and Christian belief, and I think it would be of benefit to you, too.
