Philosophy is for everyone. We think philosophically whenever we
ask life's big questions: What is real? How do we know what we
know? What is the right thing to do? What does it mean to be human?
How should we view science and its claims? Why should we believe
that God exists? Philosophy is thinking critically about questions
that matter. But many people find philosophy intimidating, so they
never discover how invaluable it can be in engaging ideas, culture,
and even their faith. Garrett DeWeese and J. P. Moreland understand
these challenges, and in this book they apply their decades of
teaching experience to help to make philosophy a little less
difficult. Using straightforward language with plenty of everyday
examples, they explain the basics needed to understand
philosophical concepts-including logic, metaphysics, epistemology,
ethics, philosophical anthropology, and philosophy of science. This
second edition includes new chapters on aesthetics and philosophy
of religion, as well as updated content on some current issues in
philosophy. Ultimately, DeWeese and Moreland argue, developing a
philosophically informed worldview is absolutely critical for
Christians and for the future of the church. Students, pastors,
campus workers, and ordinary Christians will all benefit from this
user-friendly guide.
Is God temporal, 'in time', or atemporal, 'outside of time'?
Garrett DeWeese begins with contemporary metaphysics and physics,
developing a causal account of dynamic time.A Drawing on biblical
material as well as discussions of divine temporality in medieval
and contemporary philosophical theology, DeWeese concludes that God
is temporal but not in physical time as we measure it. Interacting
with issues in the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy
of science, and philosophy of religion, this book offers students a
thorough introduction to the key issues and key figures in
historical and contemporary work on the philosophy of time and time
in theology.
What does it mean to be called to the profession of philosophy?
What does it mean for the Christian in particular? And how should
those called to the profession engage their tasks? Noting that
philosophy literally is "the love of wisdom," Garrett J. DeWeese
begins with a discussion of wisdom from the Old and New Testaments
before addressing the often misunderstood relation between faith
and reason. DeWeese then elucidates the fundamental questions of
metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics, philosophy of
mind and philosophy of science, finally making a case for the
integration of philosophy and Christian spiritual formation.
