An Introduction to Christian Philosophical Theology
Philosophy
“Here, two exacting philosophers, with extensive ministry experience, take up long-standing questions about important Christian beliefs. Shaking off what the academy expects of “professional philosophers,” Davis and Yang steer a course within the coordinates of Scripture and the historic Christian faith. Christianity cannot be taken seriously without deep reflection on the meaning of its central doctrines and the evidential support they enjoy. The authors, therefore, explore key questions that cluster around issues of ultimate concern, for believers and nonbelievers alike. And they do so with that unusual balance of intellectual rigor, readability, and pastoral care.”
History & Biography
“The Willard wit and charm appear on nearly every page of this edifying book. Those who knew Dallas well will learn more besides, much of it truly captivating. Gary Moon manages to weave what is anecdotally interesting with what is spiritually compelling, and the whole thing is layered with philosophical richness without which there would be no Dallas Willard.”
Christianity and Religious Diversity
Theology
“The scope of Harold Netland's book is breathtaking. Seldom do you find such expansive coverage of issues and competing perspectives in a book that also reflects deep acquaintance with diverse disciplines. Netland's exposition of theories and traditions is even handed, and his assessment of complex arguments is incisive. Christianity & Religious Diversity is a model of exacting research, clear and cogent writing, and unusual generosity of spirit. It is an extraordinary achievement.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“We aren't as tolerant as we think we are--and genuine tolerance will emerge only when we no longer tolerate our many forms of pseudo-tolerance. Stetson and Conti demonstrate the need for a new culture of tolerance, where virtue governs our disagreements about the things that matter most. They've produced an astute commentary on contemporary culture, a rousing admonition to witness to truth with humility and respect, and an inspiring set of principles to guide the way.”
