It argues that neuroscience cannot now and could not ever show this claim to be false. His new book Mind, Brain, and Free Will claims that substance dualism has the consequence that humans have free will to choose between good and evil.

He is also well known for his defence of ‘substance dualism’ (the view that humans consist of two parts–soul and body), especially in his book The evolution of the Soul. He has written at various lengths on many of the other major issues of philosophy (including epistemology, the study of what makes a belief rational or justified, in his book Epistemic Justification) and he has applied his views about what is made probable by what evidence to the evidence about the Resurrection of Jesus in The Resurrection of God Incarnate. He has written a tetralology of books on the meaning and justification of central Christian doctrines (including Providence and the Problem of Evil, Oxford University Press, 1998). The central book of this trilogy, The Existence of God (2nd edition, 2004, Oxford University Press) claims that arguments from the existence of laws of nature, those laws as being such as to lead to the evolution of human bodies, and humans being conscious, make it probable that there is a God. He is best known for his trilogy on the philosophy of theism (The Coherence of Theism, The Existence of God, and Faith and Reason).

He was Nolloth Professor of the Philosophy of the Christian Religion at the University of Oxford from 1985 until 2002.
