Handbook of Standard Traditional Christian Philosophy

L. Russ Bush aims to acquaint readers with a broad view of philosophy employing a readable and nontechnical approach. The author discusses: - Logic in the Bible - Faith and reason - The Kalam argument - A response to Kant's objection to the traditional proofs Bush (a Baptist) doesn't assert that there is certain proof for God's existence, merely proposing that arguments furnish "a reasonable basis" for theism and the theistic framework. Hence, I am at odds with the limited extension of the apologetic he offers forasmuch as I affirm and contend for a certain proof for God's existence. Chapters within this text are: - What is philosophy? - How to think logically - Worldview analysis - Proofs for God's existence - The problem of evil - and adscititious stimulating chapters The book has a fine glossary that furnishes in-depth definitions for students who lack a philosophical background. Included are a name index, subject index, and scripture index. 338 pages. This work's conclusion may be alien to a robust and compelling apologetic, but within its pages are manifold edifying truths concerning Christian philosophy. by Michael Robinson, author of numerous apologetic books including: God Does Exist! and Letter to an Atheist Nation: Presupositional Apologetics Responds To: Letter to a Christian

Review of "A Handbook for Christian Philosophy"

I was very pleased with the book. It is clearly and well written. Dr. Bush treats the important areas regarding a Christian aproach to philosophy. He also raises some interesting questions that seriously challenge whether a naturalist can be confident of his ability to understand reality given the assumptions of a naturalist's world view. This is an excellent and thought provoking book. It is well worth reading in my opinion.
