Plantinga was awarded the [[Templeton Prize]] in 2017 and was once described by ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine as "America's leading orthodox [[Protestantism|Protestant]] philosopher of God".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Emeritae and Emeriti // Department of Philosophy // University of Notre Dame |url=http://philosophy.nd.edu/people/alvin-plantinga/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130831050623/http://philosophy.nd.edu/people/alvin-plantinga/ |archive-date=2013-08-31}}</ref> His seminal work ''[[God and Other Minds]]'' (1967) argues that belief in God is a properly basic belief akin to the belief in [[Problem of other minds|other minds]]. Plantinga also developed a modal [[Ontological argument#Alvin Plantinga|ontological argument]] in ''The Nature of Necessity'' (1974).

Plantinga, J. L. Mackie, and [[Antony Flew]] debated the use of the ''[[Alvin Plantinga's free-will defense|free will defense]]'' as a way to solve the problem of evil.<ref>Mackie, John L. (1982). ''The Miracle of Theism: Arguments For and Against the Existence of God''</ref> Plantinga's [[evolutionary argument against naturalism]] contends that there is a problem in asserting both evolution and naturalism. Plantinga further issued a trilogy on epistemology, and especially justification, ''[[Warrant: The Current Debate]]'', ''[[Warrant and Proper Function]]'', and ''[[Warranted Christian Belief]].''

Alston defended [[divine command theory]] and applied the analytic philosophy of language to religious language. [[Robert Merrihew Adams]] also defended divine command theory, and worked on the relationship between faith and morality.<ref>Adams, Robert M. (1987). ''The Virtue of Faith And Other Essays in Philosophical Theology''</ref> [[William Lane Craig]] defends the [[Kalam cosmological argument]] in the [[The Kalām Cosmological Argument|book]] of the same name.
