Probability and theistic explanation

Book • 1990
This book provides a comprehensive comparison of Basil Mitchell and Richard Swinburne's methods for justifying religious belief.

It explores the use of probability, particularly through Bayes' theorem, and the role of theistic explanation in supporting religious beliefs.

The work is divided into two halves, with the first endorsing Mitchell's informal approach and the second examining the concept of theistic explanation and its connection to the ontological argument.
