Each semester I take a vote the last day of class on the most popular and least popular readings for the class. This semester I taught philosophy of religion, using primarily pieces from the Blackwell Guide. I won't report on the least popular reading for obvious reasons, but thought there might be some interest in the most popular ones.
The winners are: Hugh McCann's piece on Creation and Conservation, and Linda Zagzebski's piece on Freedom and Foreknowledge. Nice work, Hugh and Linda!


I'm curious how the course worked out using that as the primary text, since it's intended more as a reference work. I have to admit to using pieces from it myself. I know I've used the chapter on moral arguments for the existence of God (by C. Stephen Evans, I believe) and Plantinga's chapter on belief in God as properly basic, both of which were the clearest statements of either issue that I could find.
Jeremy, some of the pieces are superb for teaching because they lay out the conceptual landscape superbly. But it was only one of the sources I used for the course, and many of the pieces I had them read I've decided was a mistake. But I'd rather not say publicly which ones!
