Check out this library guide that includes contemporary philosophers of religion like Alvin Plantinga, Anthony Flew, William Lane Craig, Alasdair C MacIntyre, Paul Ricœur, Richard Granville Swinburne, Charles Taylor, John Harwood Hick, Nicholas Paul Wolterstorff, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

You are invited to join us for a community lunch on Thursday, September 10 at 12:30 p.m. in the OCC Dining Room.

We’d love to have the whole Luther community join us afterward to celebrate and connect over a meal. To help us plan for food and seating, please sign up by September 3 on this online form to indicate that you’ll join us for lunch.
