Replies to Essays in The Logic of Rational Theism In 1990, The Logic of Rational Theism: Exploratory Essays was published by The Edwin Mellen Press. This festschrift for Dr. Hackett was edited by William Lane Craig and Mark S. McLeod. All the essays in the work were written by Dr. Hackett's former students and colleagues. The book is still available (not inexpensively) as a special order through Trinity Bookstore, Amazon.com, and other bookstores. Dr. Hackett wrote replies to the most of the essays and sent them to the essays' authors. He has made the replies available here for those who have read the essays and are interested in his thoughts on the material.
