James Clarke & Co. A Rational Faith

A comprehensive analysis of Richard Swinburne's intellectual journey and philosophical work, A Rational Faith explores the legacy of one of the most influential and rigorous philosophical defenders of theism. Across Swinburne's written career, he has displayed a deep commitment to demonstrating the intellectual credibility of the Christian faith, facing modern scientific and philosophical challenges and the materialistic worldview of modern intellectualism. Analysing his life and work through in-depth, accessible explanations of key issues and their context, Joshua Sijuwade brings together collected criticism of Swinburne's work and explores possible counter-arguments, alongside a foreword by Richard Swinburne himself. Suitable for any reader interested in Swinburne's 'philosophy-first' approach, or those intrigued by a philosophical defence of the Christian faith, A Rational Faith reveals Swinburne's life and work as a witness to his belief that belief in the central tenets of the Christian faith is rational.
