Review: Great introduction. Would recommend it. - As a young Christian with a strong theological concern, I was very careful getting into philosophy. The options out there for choosing an introduction on philosophy from a Christian perspective are few to none. Other than this book the only other one I would consider credible is J.P Morelands/William Lane Craigs Philosophical foundations which is a much more thorough introduction, nearly 200 pages more. Though these Authors here are not widely known, they were very trustworthy and for the most part unbiased, normally taking the middle ground in arguments & allowing the reader to see philosophy as it really is. Ofcourse it is most certainly a Christian approach & I am very glad I found it. Only thing I wish to say is that for those who are not sound in their faith or may be new to it, be careful reading into opposing views too much without truly understanding your own faith. This does not attempt to act as a Biblical Philosophy technically speaking but rather a Christians approach to the entire realm of Philosophy, very important to note. Pros-- 1. 2 well-studied philosophy professors with strong biblical convictions 2. Provides a overview of Philosophy's most important topics & not only the different views arguments but also the most popular historical criticisms. 3. Includes a chapter on Aesthetics (art & beauty) which you rarely find in introductions & was very profitable! 4. Very helpful in understanding the most common worldviews Cons-- 1. Few errors in the actual philosophy, it’s usually when they intertwined Christianity’s view which is probably just because they study more philosophy than the Bible but nothing major, noticed maybe 3 occasions but honestly for a Philosophy overview this is impressive. 2. Could have spent more time in the Philosophy of science possibly 3. At the end of every section there are very good questions for review, personally wish the Author could have answered some of them himself in the back of the book. Otherwise most of them do require opinionated responses. Overall this is certainly a 5 star book. I would have to recommend R.C Sprouls Consequences of Ideas along with it, that book is more of a short history of the ideas that shape our world today. For books on Logic I always recommend: Logic by Isaac Watts and also Logic: An Introduction by Lionel Ruby
Review: Solid Christian Perspective on Philosopy - I had the opportunity of reading this book as the textbook for a philosophy class in seminary. It is broad in the topics it covers (epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, human nature, philosophy of religion, ethics, and political philosophy)and also includes the less covered topic in philosophy of aesthetics. It is very readable, though, and uses easy to understand illustrations of its points. My favorite section was the chapter on philosophy of religion, which includes very understandable versions of the top arguments for God's existence and responses to the problems of evil and religious pluralism. The section on how much certainty is required for knowledge is also very helpful for apologetics. Overall, the book is a useful tool for any Christian who is serious about loving God with their mind, and is a very good resource on philosophy for both the student and layperson, Christian and non Christian. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An insightful primer
*by E***E on October 19, 2013*

Execellent introduction to the philosophy of the philosophical methodology. Presented through the lense of a strictly Christian, theistic, and biblical worldview.
