Properly basic beliefs. (Reformed Epistemology)

That couldn't be further from the truth - If you are going to point out the most respectable and productive theist philosophers it would likely be him and Swineburn. Sure, he's a little faith blind but he's pretty much a genius and brilliantly well written.

His gripe with presuppostitonalist naturalism is relatively justified, at least in the sense that it is true that most naturalists really wouldn't be able to separate their standards of justification from naturalism - They rely solely on science which precludes investigation of an alternative in an a priori sense and while it's true that science is far more effective than apriori arguments at determining (or at least verifying) truth claims, for someone to restrict investigation like that is a less than intellectually honest approach. My biggest gripe with him over this case would be he argues down a lot, the problems that are faced by the non-learned naturalists is what he attacks rather than refined position of naturalist philosophers.

He has given up on a proof for God, hasn't attempted one seriously for decades. He has even gone as far to bunk other theist arguments for the existence of God like Craig's KCA.

To say he doesn't know what rational means is just bizarre. He's done so much mental gymnastics in pursuit of a rational theism that I would at least grant that he knwows what the word means.

And at the very least we can count on him to keep us on our toes. He'll pounce on any poor reasoning displayed by naturalists

May I ask what works would give me a good introduction to Plantinga's ideas, because I might read through them sometime.
