You bring back memories. We used his volume on medieval philosophy when I was in college.

I'll second that. I have most in paperback in a box somewhere (I think 9 of the volumes).
I would find it helpful esp. with some of the classical philosophers.

As a philosophy major in college, I agree. This is a classic. A lot of good stuff there.

As I noted in a previous post, we used this in medieval philosophy so it brings back fond memories. I remember William Harry Jellema who was the head of the philosophy dept and taught the class. Quite a distinguished gentleman with a wicked sense of humor (and he was a Calvinist too since this was at Calvin College [;)]).

I'll show mine: I took Medieval Philosophy at Calvin College with Alvin Plantinga. (Naturally, we spent a lot of time with Anselm's Ontological argument.)

Yes, I think it was Jellema's last year. They have a requirement of mandatory retirement at 70.

Copleston would be a great resource, I agree.

There are a couple of books by Nicholas Wolterstorff (also one of my philosophy professors who now teaches at either Harvard or Yale) which might be of interest. One of them is written with Plantinga.

Yes, I'd love to see him too as well as William Alston, Kelly James Clark, Ronald Nash and a whole bunch of other people... Logos's resources are badly lacking in the philosophy of religion dept.
But thanks for mentioning that because I searched the Logos resources for Wolterstorff just to see what would come up and it led me to a collection of resources containing James Anderson's Paradox in Christian Theology!!! No joke, that was going to be the next resource I suggested. I guess that means my next suggestion will have to be Michael Sudduth's "The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology"...
