Christian apologetics in a context of science. Book review: Holder R. Ramified natural theology in science and religion. Moving forward from natural theology. London-NY: Routledge, 2021. 247 p. ISBN 978-0-367-37319-1

Nowadays natural theology received new impetus for its development due to discoveries made in the field of structure and evolution of the universe. In an era of religious pluralism, Christian apologetics needs not only arguments in favor of God’s existence, but also a rational justification of the main Christian doctrines, such as the incarnation and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is why many Christian apologists use the strict formal language of probability theory, based on Bayes’ theorem. The paper presents an analysis of the main lines of R. Holder’s arguments of so-called “ramified natural theology” to support key doctrines of Christianity.
