In a Nutshell

Published in 2011, Where The Conflict Really Lies is a tightly reasoned philosophical argument that suggests monotheistic religion and science are deeply compatible, and that a scientific worldview need not exclude spiritual explanations.

There is superficial conflict but deep concord between science and theistic religion, but superficial concord and deep conflict between science and naturalism.

Alvin Plantinga

Introduction

In contemporary culture, religion and science are often seen as being in conflict, and studies show that we expect scientists, more than those in any other profession, to be atheists.

But does science really require us to believe that human beings, like everything else, are purely material things, resulting from purely material causes?

Alvin Plantinga is an analytical philosopher best known for his work on the philosophy of religion and epistemology.

Awarded the Templeton Prize in 2017, Plantinga is one of the most-cited contemporary authors in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

In this book, the author builds a philosophical case for the compatibility of science and religion.

By deconstructing common attacks against theistic worldviews and offering new ways of conceptualizing the divine, Plantinga invites us to re-examine how we see the world.
