Over the past sixty years, within the analytic tradition of philosophy, there has been a significant revival of interest in the philosophy of religion. More recently, philosophers of religion have turned in a more self-consciously interdisciplinary direction, with special focus on topics that
have traditionally been the provenance of systematic theologians in the Christian tradition. The present volumes Oxford Readings in Philosophical Theology, volumes 1 and 2aim to bring together some of the most important essays on six central topics in recent philosophical theology. Volume 1 collects
essays on three distinctively Christian doctrines: trinity, incarnation, and atonement. Volume 2 focuses on three topics that arise in all of the major theistic religions: providence, resurrection, and scripture.
I: Providence
1. Thomas P. Flint: Two Accounts fo Providence
2. Timothy O'Connor: The Impossibility of Middle Knowledge
3. William Lane Craig: Middle Knowledge, Truth-Makers, and the Grounding Objection
4. David P. Hunt: Divine Providence and Simple Foreknowledge
5.
Peter van Inwagen: The Place of Chance in a World Sustained by God
II: Scripture and Revelation
6. Richard Swinburne: Revelation
7. William J.Abraham: The Concept of Inspiration
8. William Lane Craig: "Men Moved by the Holy Spirit Spoke from God" (2 Peter 1:21): A Middle
Knowledge Perspective on Biblical Inspiration
