Exploring Modern Logic

Philosophy

“Textbooks are forged in the often-fiery cauldron of the classroom. Simply put, the best teachers write the best textbooks. Kirk MacGregor is the one of the best undergraduate teachers I’ve had the pleasure of knowing in my more than thirty years teaching undergraduate courses. He inspires his students to ‘learn to learn,’ an important learning objective when teaching courses in logic. His students apply what they’ve learned in a manner that enhances their life experience. Assign Exploring Modern Logic: Theory and Applications in your undergraduate classes; you won’t be disappointed. Let the learning begin.”

Luis de Molina

Theology

“If you haven’t discovered Kirk R. MacGregor, Luis de Molina provides a rewarding introduction to his work. Dr. MacGregor combines that rare ability to maintain scholarly rigor while making a seemingly remote historical figure come alive for the reader. His clear, concise prose combined with compassionate resonance with the characters in his account make for a surprisingly enjoyable reading experience. Luis de Molina is crafted with thoughtfulness, detailed research, and engaging narrative. Religion scholars with interests in Molinism and the doctrine of middle knowledge will acquire fresh insight into issues of God’s sovereignty, grace, providence and predestination, and their relation to human free will and social justice. For the theologically minded, Dr. MacGregor’s book becomes an indispensable guide through the often complex and controversial doctrinal debates that preoccupied the best minds in sixteenth-century Spain. Luis de Molina, one of the great philosophical theologians and ethicists of his time, made important contributions to Christianity, contributions that before Dr. MacGregor’s exhaustive biography, have been misunderstood, misinterpreted, or largely ignored. The general reader will embark on a fascinating journey into the turbulent life and times of Molina, a world in which passionate theological debate could lead to torture or death — or threaten to unhinge the religious and political establishment. Once again, Dr. MacGregor has produced a volume that is both a fruitful resource and an inspiring and captivating reading experience.”

Molinist Philosophical and Theological Ventures

Philosophy

“MacGregor elevates theological and philosophical discourse to the level of an art form. In an elegant synthesis of intellect and inspiration, this book presents a collection of eight essays addressing key issues central to Molinist studies. Whether you are a Molinist scholar or a connoisseur of inspired theological arguments, you will find these essays to be masterpieces worthy of hanging in the art gallery of your soul.”

Trespass

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“There is no 'them' in this book; it's about us, as a people and a society, and Trespass is the bridge that connects us all.”
