Reformed Epistemology-Criticism of Reformed Epistemology I

Dear all,
here a list of papers on Reformed Epistemology (both in defence and critical of RE) we will discuss:

Plantinga, A. (1983). ‘Reason and Belief in God’, Faith and Rationality: Reason and Belief in God, (eds.) A. Plantinga & N. Wolterstorff, 16–93, Notre Dame, IN:University of Notre Dame Press

Quinn, P. L. (1985). ‘In Search of the Foundations of Theism’, Faith and Philosophy 2, 469- 86.

Hasker, W. (1998). ‘The Foundations of Theism: Scoring the Quinn-Plantinga Debate’, Faith and Philosophy 15, 52-67.

Plantinga, A. (1986). ‘The Foundations of Theism: A Reply’, Faith and Philosophy 3. 298- 313.  

Plantinga (1983) started the debate, so I suggest starting with Plantinga then consider Quinn's(1985) and Hasker's (1998) criticisms and Plantinga's reply (1986)
