Redeeming Philosophy

“In the author’s characteristically judicious and elegant manner, this volume makes a timely and welcome contribution to the old debate about the relationship between philosophy and Christian theology. In so doing, it provides a settled and convincing case that the basic questions philosophy asks find their fundamental answers only in the Bible, the written Word of God. In the midst of so much present confused thinking on these matters, I commend Redeeming Philosophy to all who care about bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus Westminster Theological Seminary

“Poythress has hit the nail on the head again. This book contains a wealth of fresh thought and careful Christian philosophical work. This is Poythress’ clearest integration of linguistics, philosophy, and exegesis. Surely this book contains the most incisive analyses of apples and bookmarks ever to be found. The point, of course, is that everything in God’s world reflects the richness of the triune God.” John M. Frame, J. D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida

“Matters of philosophy are often complex and laden with challenging topics. Christians wonder whether they should avoid philosophy altogether and simply stick to the Bible or if there is anything to be gained from the study of philosophy. Employing John Frame’s theological methodology, Dr. Poythress has written a helpful introductory exploration of the relationship between philosophy and the teachings of Scripture.” J. V. Fesko, Academic Dean and Professor of Systematics and Historical Theology at Westminster Seminary California
