These responses have not rendered Plantinga’s model invalid, but rather suggest the need for further work. The study of these responses has triggered a description of the relationship between the warrant and the truth of the Christian faith, and a proposal to strengthen and expand the theological content of the model. Taken together, these points suggest a number of applications to positive Christian apologetics.
