Believing Philosophy introduces Christians to philosophy and the
tools it provides believers, helping them understand, articulate,
and defend their faith in an age of unbelief. Philosophy has been a
part of Christianity since its earliest days, and theistic
philosophy predates Christianity by thousands of years. But
Christians today often don't realize or are skeptical of all that
philosophy can offer them. In Part 1, author Dolores G. Morris
explains why Christians should read and study philosophy. She
begins with a historical overview of Christian philosophy from the
church fathers to contemporary philosophers and then introduces the
basic resources of philosophical reasoning: the role and aim of
reason, distinctions between truth and reason and provability, and
learning to read like a philosopher. These chapters address three
foundational questions: What is philosophy? Why should a Christian
study philosophy? How should a Christian study philosophy? In Part
2, Morris introduces students to philosophical arguments and
questions relevant to Christians. She presents arguments by three
key branches of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, and
practical philosophy. Building on concepts introduced in Part 1,
she explains what philosophical arguments are and how they ought to
be evaluated from a philosophical and Christian perspective. The
following chapters examine specific questions most pressing for
Christians today: The problem of evil Rationality and faith Free
will Skeptical theism The moral argument for the existence of God
Reformed epistemology Each chapter introduces the problem, explains
Christian responses, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each
response, and leaves the final verdict to the reader. Finally, each
chapter concludes with a list of recommended further readings.
