In "God, Freedom, and Evil," Alvin Plantinga embarks on a rigorous exploration of pivotal issues that lie at the heart of philosophical theology: the existence of God and the problem of evil in a world governed by such a being. With unmatched clarity and intellectual precision, Plantinga scrutinizes the foundations and implications of natural theology and atheology. Through his examination, he breathes new life into the classical ontological argument for God's existence, presenting a robust defense against atheistic critiques. His discourse navigates through the complex landscape of belief, reason, and the pursuit of truth, inviting readers into a profound dialogue about the divine. At the core of Plantinga's argument is a compelling reconciliation of God's omnipotence with the presence of evil in the world. Challenging the traditional atheological stance, he introduces the concept of free will to argue that the existence of evil is not incompatible with a benevolent, omnipotent deity. This thoughtful and engaging analysis not only confronts one of the most enduring dilemmas in theology but also offers a persuasive argument for the coherence of theism in the face of existential and moral quandaries. "God, Freedom, and Evil" stands as a seminal work that not only contributes to theological and philosophical discussions but also offers accessible insights to readers grappling with questions about faith, freedom, and the nature of evil.

See [this] as 'properly basic.' - Tim Keller
The mere fact that a belief is unpopular at present (or at some other time) is interesting from a sociological point of view but evidentially irrelevant.
