richard swinburne providence and the problem of evil

At this point, it is worth noting that Richard Swinburne is the only author quoted in the philosophical apologetic works by Richard Dawkins, the most famous contemporary atheist, who considers Swinburne's texts as the only substantial challenge to atheists. The relevance of Richard Swinburne's works is reflected not only in his being appointed to the highly prestigious position of Professor at the University of Oxford (more specifically, the position of Nolloth Professor of the Philosophy of the Christian Religion, which he held from 1985 to 2002, when he retired) or invited to give lectures at numerous universities worldwide, but also in the fact that the arguments which he has invoked to defend the rationality of religion pose a major challenge to the so-called New Atheists' movement. His works are viewed by many commentators as the leading voice in contemporary philosophy, defending the veracity (or at least high probability) of fundamental Christian doctrines, such as the divinity and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the trinity of God, the fall and redemption of man, and the providence of God in the world. The significance of Richard Swinburne's works, in which the author defends not only the rationality of classical theism, but also the rationality of the Christian faith, goes far beyond the area of analytical philosophy of religion. His scholarly achievements are appreciated worldwide, a fact that is reflected by his works being translated into 22 languages, including Japanese, Spanish, Persian, Arabic, Finnish, Czech, Chinese, Turkish, Romanian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Dutch, German, Italian, French, Korean, Hungarian, and Amharic.
