Sleep With PhilosophyRichard Swinburne (b.1934)In the quietude of our minds, we embark on a serene journey through the profound depths of philosophical theology, exploring Richard Swinburnes pioneering trilogy that seeks to articulate the existence of God with analytic precision. Each tome, a meticulous layering from the foundational questions of divine coherence to the symphony of evidences that gently hint at the divine, beckons us to contemplate the delicate weave of logic and faith. As we drift closer to the shores of sleep, let us unravel the threads of cumulative reasoning and the harmonious relationship between faith and reason, finding tranquility in the intellectual...

TransfiguredWhy the Love Argument for the Trinity Fails (Wes Huff & Swinburne Reply)Does God need to be a Trinity in order to love?

Is morality hardwired into us by evolution, shaped by culture, or guided by religion? In this live edition of the Unbelievable? Podcast recorded in London and hosted by public philosopher Jack Symes, four leading thinkers explore the origins and future of ethical thought.
From the role of emotions in our moral choices to the ethics of animal rights and cross-cultural disagreements, this conversation tackles one of humanity’s most enduring questions: what does it mean to be good?

Real AtheologyRA050: THIS is Why God Hides? (Part 8 of the Divine Hiddenness Series)The Hiddenness Series returns. Richard Swinburne's responsibility argument aims to show it's good for God to stay hidden. That way we can investigate God's existence together. Assisting others in this endeavor, says Swinburne, is a very good deed—one we should be thankful to have the opportunity to do. In this video I discuss Swinburne's argument, Schellenberg's response, and Travis Dumsday's reformulation. I then share some of my own objections to the responsibility argument. Most importantly, I explain how it fails to undercut Schellenberg's hiddenness argument.

In this talk, Professor Richard Swinburne FBA takes us through the debates on personal identity, which were first had between Plato and Aristotle in the Western tradition. Through questioning the strength of the physicalist view, which says our personal identity is based on physical factors, he aims to demonstrate that maybe it is time to reconsider Plato’s belief in souls in the modern world.Speaker: Professor Richard Swinburne FBAThis video is for informative and educational purpos...

Trinitiespodcast 364 – The God who Suffers: a Response to The Reluctant Theologian Podcast 118 Why did God become incarnate?
In a thought-provoking recent episode released before this Easter, analytic theologian Dr. R.T. Mullins suggested three reasons God would have to become incarnate, building on work by Swinburne and McConnell.
The one he focuses the most on in the idea that God would be obligated to become incarnate so that he can suffer along with us, his beloved creatures.
In this episode I evaluate those three reasons using Scripture and reason. I argue that we can have the theological goods Dr. Mullins wants at a better price.

We try to assess this line of thinking, especially using the work of the Oxford Christian philosopher Richard Swinburne who favours the approach. This then leads into the doctrine of Divine Simplicity which was prominent in the Medieval church (eg Aquinas). Of course Andrew brings us down to earth with what the Bible sa...

Journey with us on the story of tenured Philosophy professor (in Ohio) Dr. Alex Plato. Born and baptized PC USA (a "liberal" Protestant denomination, Presbyterian) in Oregon, Plato had a special science teacher at a public high school that taught him young earth creationism and some apologetics. Though his dad did not believe, his mother did, and took the family out of the liberal church into a more Biblically solid Baptist church. This led to the young Plato attending college at a Baptist...

At one point, influenced by the great Christian philosopher Richard Swinburne, Dr. Joshua Sijuwade held to a “social” Trinty. But now, following Beau Branson, he holds to a “monarchical trinitarian” view on which the one God just is the Father, and also there is a divine Son and a divine Spirit.
But he’s continued to think about the issues, now influenced by some work by Timothy Pawl and by metaphysician E.J. Lowe. In some ways, he’s trying to bring together a Swinburnean view of “the Trinity” with a Bransonian one, as we saw in episode 330.

2020-06-0229 minTrinitiespodcast 296 – Assessing Craig’s “Trinity Monotheism” – with Dale Glover – Part 1
Notoriously, Dr. William Lane Craig compares the Trinity to the mythical three-headed dog Cerberus from Greek mythology – shown here as Hercules is about to club him. (Or: club them?)
But that analogy is not really the heart of his model of the Trinity, which he calls “Trinity monotheism.”
On this theory, God is one “soul” which somehow supports three “centers of consciousness” by having three sets of mental and volitional faculties. This is called “Trinity monotheism” because on this theology, only the Trinity is divine in the way the one God is divine – none of the “Persons” is. Ea...

In this talk given to the Evangelical Philosophical Society in March of 2018, he gives his latest thoughts on the Trinity.
Swinburne’s is usually called a “social” Trinity theory, what I call a “three self” theory. For him, the “Persons” of the Trinity are so many selves, three conscious, intelligent, intentionally acting beings (individual entities, substances), capable of love and cooperation.
Is this a distinctively eastern or “Greek” theory, as opposed to western or “Latin” Trinity theories? Swinburne denies that it is, sketching his u...

On the popular level, apologist and philosopher Dr. William Lane Craig has made this recent sort of antiunitarian argument in a book and online.

Epistheo | Philosophie ChrétienneLa Preuve de la Trinité par l'AmourL'argument par l'amour en faveur de la Trinité a été développé par Richard de Saint-Victor, et il est encore aujourd'hui soutenu par des philosophes tels que Richard Swinburne et Stephen T. Davis. L'argument repose sur la notion d'amour, qui implique une relation entre plusieurs personnes. Si Dieu est amour, il doit donc y avoir plusieurs personnes en lui-même, sans quoi il dépendrait d'autres choses que de lui-même, et serait imparfait. Richard de Saint-Victor, repris par Richard Swinburne, explique pourquoi Dieu doit être précisément trois personnes.

Epistheo | Philosophie ChrétienneLa Preuve de Dieu par l'OrdreL'univers est ordonné plutôt que chaotique, et cet ordre répond aux conditions draconiennes permettant la vie, alors qu'il aurait pu y être hostile. Richard Swinburne et Robin Collins pensent que cela prouve l'existence de Dieu. Une explication physique (faisant appel à des lois) ne peut expliquer ce qu'elle postule : l'existence même des lois. Par conséquent, il faut faire appelle à une explication de type personnel (faisant appel à des intentions, des choix). Swinburne conclu que pour expliquer l'existence des lois, il faut supposer l'existence de Dieu. Collins ajoute que dans la mesure ou un univers favorable à la vie est une pr...

Reasonable Doubts Podcastrd104 Religious Experience with guest Tanya LuhrmannFor many religious believers the most compelling evidence for theism is their own personal experience of God's presence. Christians in the rapidly growing charismatic "renewalist" movement do not just talk to God. They claim to actually hear God talking back. Are these powerful religious experiences evidence that God really exists or are they the result of mental illness? Anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann, author of When God Talks Back, offers another explanation: such experiences arise naturally when spiritual communities learn to train and enhance their natural capacity for imagination. She joins us on the show to talk about what she observed while...

En effet, comme le remarque Spinoza dans son Traité théologico-politique, la majorité des écrits bibliques sont des paroles humaines. Il y a bien quelques prophètes qui prétendent parler de la part de Dieu. Ils commencent leurs interventions par : « Ainsi parle l’Eternel ». Mais la majorité des écrits ne sont pas des écrits prophétiques. Dans le Nouveau Testament, les Apôtres écrivent leurs propres observations et leurs propres réflexions, et ils signent leurs textes de leur propre main. Si donc une petite partie de la Bibl...
