An ECPA 2003 Gold Medallion Finalist Phillip E. Johnson pries the
lid off public debate about questions of ultimate
concern--questions often suppressed by our society's intellectual
elite. Moving far beyond matters of creation and evolution, Johnson
outlines the questions we all ought to be asking about the meaning
of human history, the limits of scientific inquiry, religion and
education in a pluralistic society, truth, liberty and moral
choices, and God and His Word, Jesus Christ. Johnson deftly
demonstrates how the reigning naturalistic philosophy not only
squelches public debate but also constrains us to ask the wrong
questions. Unless we start with the right questions, Johnson
argues, our discussions will be framed by the assumptions of that
very philosophy which must be challenged. Johnson asserts that even
the Christian church has much too often passively accepted this
limiting frame of mind to the detriment of all. But Christian faith
and conviction instead ought to lead in opening up the search for
truth and meaning through the kind of public education that
"teaches in controversy." Then all of us will be prepared to engage
in lively, informed and civil debate about the questions that
really matter. Why is it always wrong to mix science and religion?
What is the ultimate premise, the beginning point, from which logic
should proceed? How can a college education prepare students to
understand the ultimate purpose or meaning for which life should be
lived and to choose rightly from among the available possibilities?
What is the appropriate understanding of religion in a pluralistic
nation where substantial numbers of Christians, agnostics, Jews and
Muslims all need to live together in peace? How can democratic
liberalism remain viable when severed from its Christian roots?
What is the most important event in human history? Provocative,
personal, persuasive and prophetic, Johnson is certain to help us
break free from our intellectual and spiritual captivity.
