Life and Thought
Richard Swinburne (born 1934) is a prominent British analytic philosopher and former holder of the Nolloth Chair at the University of Oxford. He is recognized as one of the most important philosophical defenders of theism in the contemporary analytic tradition. By employing probabilistic arguments and Bayesian statistics, Swinburne has made innovative efforts to demonstrate the rationality of belief in the existence of God and the truth of Christian doctrines.
