This is a review of the book "Naturalism Defeated?", edited by James Beilby. The book is a critical response to Plantinga's argument against naturalism, based on evolutionary premises.
My typical approach to reading a book that is technical is to find critical reviews, read the reviews, then read the author's response to the reviews, then read the book. It prevents me from reading many books, but tends to help me digest the argument of that particular book or essay more substantially. That also forces me to read IMPORTANT books and essays, rather than unimportant ones, because it takes much more time to read a particular book!
The book under review here is a response by philosophers against an argument that Plantinga included in a few paragraphs in one of his books, then followed up on in essay form.
The depth of response gives you some idea of how widely Plantinga is read!
