 Swinburne’s argument invites detailed objections on practically every point, but he has also defended every step of the argument extensively in separate works about natural theology, the incarnation, atonement theory, and the resurrection (2004a; 1994; 1989; 2003). Especially the historical argument for a resurrection is crucial for Swinburne’s case. The debates generated by criticism of Swinburne’s historical claims and claims about natural theology cannot be addressed here. However, the very fact that Swinburne’s argument, in order to succeed, needs to establish many controversial propositions has been seen, by some, as a fatal weakness (Plantinga 2000b, 271–280; Hasker 2002: 256–257).
