Are there ANY christian "philosophers" who are taken seriously by actual, contemporary philosophers?
For instance: David Bentley Hart, Edward Feser, William Lane Craig, John Milbank, Alvin Plantinga, and Stephen R L Clark all have pretensions of being "philosophers" and write books that are intended to be taken as serious philosophic efforts...
and yet no one in the actual world of philosophy takes them seriously, or even acknowledges them. Brassier, Harman, Meillassoux, Sloterdijk, Badiou, Chalmers, Dennett (aside from his cringe campaigning for new atheism) don't even glance in their direction.
Is there anyone in academia who can shed some light on this? Are theologians, even when philosophically trained, even considered philosophers in the same sense that the secular ones are?
>Brassier, Harman, Meillassoux, Sloterdijk, Badiou, Chalmers, Dennett is these bait? these are all atrocious

>Are theologians philosophers? Most aren't. I'd say the majority are literary critics, followed by classicists.

none of these people has any serious claim to authority so I don't know why you think it matters whether they "acknowledge' some other group of thinkers

any christian theologian worth his salts would have become a dominican. these are laymen. there's nothing wrong with writing a book about christianity as a layman, but if they seriously consider themselves theologians, its kind of pretentious in my view, as a catholic. but what do i know?

They don't take them seriously because they're arrogant. They want to elevate atheism on a moral plane unreachable by theologians to discredit them socially.
Atheism = guuuud Theism = petty, lowly, undeserving of attention

> actual, contemporary philosophers What do you define as being an "actual philosopher?" The way you pose the question makes it imply that the only ""actual philosophers""" in your mind are atheist, thus making your question pointless.
MacIntyre is a catholic boyo, and is probably the greatest living philosopher.

Prfoessor Robert P. George of Princeton University is a pretty well known Catholic political philosopher.

Who the fuck told you no one takes Plantinga seriously? He's one of the most important analytic philosophers of the last half century. WLC has academic cred as well. DBH and Milbank are both well respected. Of the people you listed
Other than being memes like Brassier or Harman, none of then actually work in philosophy of religion. Dennett regularly got shit from philosophers for his total silence on the actual questions of Philosophy of Religion, where he knows he's out of his element.
Living, some of the most important philosophers (Charles Taylor, Bas van Fraassen, MacIntyre, Kripke) are staunch theist
The submission and review process of articles is the same as that with printed philosophy journals, books and reference works. The authors are specialists in the areas in which they write, and are frequently leading authorities. Submissions are peer-reviewed by specialists according to strict criteria. The peer review process is rigorous and meets high academic standards.

If you were to ask an actual philosopher this question, they would tell you the most influential contemporary Christian philosopher is Derrida, who is in a sense our Hegel.
He's both Lennox obtained Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at the University of Cambridge with the dissertation Centrality and Permutability in Soluble Groups (1970) Lennox also holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Oxford
