Summary: Excellent!
Comment: A very excellent book in Christian epistemology. It's written in a very clear, lucid, and sometimes humorous language. Although it's the last three of Plantinga's Warrant series, without the knowledge of the other two, someone will still get the comprehensive message of the book. If you're a Christian of any sort, you'll find it strengthening. If you're not, you'll find it challenging.
Just small caution, though, when one read this book, always keep in mind the distinction between the de jure objection and the de facto objection. Notwithstanding that both are inseparable, Plantinga's main purpose is to address the de jure objection. Failure to keep it in mind will cause someone to easily misunderstand the primary content of the book.

Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: Wow... I can't say enough of Plantinga's latest (and final) addition to his Warrant trilogy--Warranted Christian Belief.
WCB is in part a work in Christian epistemology (theories of knowledge), and in part a work in Christian apologetics. I have found WCB to be very helpful not only as a Christian, but also as an undergrad philosophy student. This book has been a tremendous resource in classes ranging from Philosophy of Religion all the way to Brittish Philosophy. Plantinga addresses thinkers from Locke all the way to Rorty! (And I must say, Plantinga's chapter on postmodernism is one of the most concise and intelligent treatments I've come across thus far)
WCB is a must read for all thinking theists, and for anyone who is serious about philosophy of religion. I highly reccommend picking up a copy for yourself. (Pay no attention to the misguided assertions of bias offered by the "twelve-year old" fideist reviewer)
Note: This book can easily be read without having read his previous works.

Summary: Devoted Service to Philosophy
Comment: Because so many others have acclaimed the work Plantinga provides the reader I will only add to the reviewers the following:
The book uses two font sizes to aid the reader in distinguishing the technical arguments from the less technical or summary arguments. Plantinga, as is expected, provides keen insight into the problem with the atheistic claim that Christian belief is irrational. Just as JL Mackie's evil argument was destroyed by Plantinga's Freewill Defense, so too is the accusation that Christian beliefs are irrational. This book is easily read by the trained philosopher and by the casual reader.
