It is a formidable achievement, worthy of careful, detailed study and evaluation.įor Swinburne, that theism is “coherent” means there is a version of theism that involves no logical or metaphysical impossibilities (53), both defined ultimately in terms of not leading to contradiction. Richard Swinburne presents us with a second edition of his 1977 classic, updated by considering some of the philosophical literature since then and making some switches in his views. It will be accessible to and appreciated only by analytic philosophers of religion, those who have followed the relevant literature. This book is not “The Coherence of Theism for Dummies.” It is a complex, intricately argued defense of one version of theism by one of the world’s greatest philosophers of religion.
