This clear, readable introduction to philosophy presents a
traditional theistic view of the existence of God. There are many
fine introductions to philosophy, but few are written for students
of faith by a teacher who is sensitive to the intellectual
challenges they face studying in an environment that is often
hostile to religious belief. Many introductory texts present short,
easy-to-refute synopses of the traditional arguments for God’s
existence, the soul, free will, and objective moral value rooted in
God’s nature, usually followed by strong objections stated as if
they are the last word. This formula may make philosophy easier to
digest, but it gives many students the impression that there are no
longer any good reasons to accept the beliefs just mentioned.
Philosophy, Reasoned Belief, and Faith is written for philosophy
instructors who want their students to take a deeper look at the
classic theistic arguments and who believe that many traditional
views can be rigorously defended against the strongest objections.
The book is divided into four sections, focusing on philosophy of
religion, an introduction to epistemology, philosophy of the human
person, and philosophical ethics. The text challenges naturalism,
the predominant outlook in the academic world today, while
postmodernist relativism and skepticism are also examined and
rejected. Students of faith—and students without faith—will
deepen their worldviews by thoughtfully examining the philosophical
arguments that are presented in this book. Philosophy, Reasoned
Belief, and Faith will appeal to Christian teachers, analytic
theists, home educators, and general readers interested in the
classic arguments supporting a theistic worldview.
