The University of Notre Dame is, since the early nineteen eighties, the institutional center of analytic philosophy of religion in North America. Alvin Plantinga arrived from Calvin College in 1982 and held the John A. O’Brien Chair of Philosophy until his retirement in 2010. The Center for Philosophy of Religion at Notre Dame, founded in 1975, supports visiting fellowships that have shaped the careers of a generation of philosophers in the field.
A great deal of the literature this corpus draws on was written by people who were either at Notre Dame, had been at Notre Dame, or were on their way to Notre Dame. The university is in this respect the analytic counterpart to Oxford across the Atlantic.
