Reddit reviews Introducing Philosophy of Religion

I recommend a good phil religion introduction (like this one here).


My suggestion is to to look at the classical arguments for and against the existence of God, and the current debate had about those arguments, and just assess the evidence yourself.


For example, you will need to consider the problem of evil, which is the most serious objection to God's existence (at least the God of classical theism) and look at the current responses (like skeptical theism) to see what you think.


Some names of people worth reading are William Rowe, Alvin Platinga, Richard Swinburne, Brian Leftowe, Peter van Inwagen, Robert Adams, Marilyn McCord Adams, and Eleonore Stump. I would use Phil Papers to find some of the titles and potentially get a free download.


Also there is a great series called Closer to Truth that interviews some of the biggest names in the Philosophy of Religion right now. (here's a link).

The problem of evil have already been solved by Plantinga and "Most philosophers have agreed that the free will defense has defeated the logical problem of evil. [...] Because of [Plantinga's argument], it is now widely accepted that the logical problem of evil has been sufficiently rebutted." Meister, Chad (2009). Introducing Philosophy of Religion.
