Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview

What is real? What is truth? What can we know? What should we believe? What should we do and why? Is there a God? Can we know Him? Do Christian doctrines make sense? Can we believe in God in the face of evil? These are fundamental questions that any thinking person wants answered. These are questions that philosophy addresses. And the answers we give to these kinds of questions serve as the foundational stones upon which any kind of worldview is built.

In Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, J.P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offer a comprehensive introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective. In their extensive journey, they seek to introduce readers to the main subdisciplines of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, and philosophy of religion. They do so with characteristic and incisive clarity. Arguments are clearly delineated, and rival theories are presented with fairness and precision.

Philosophy, they claim, aids Christians in the tasks of apologetics, polemics, and systematic theology. It reflects that we are made in the image of God, helps us extend biblical teaching to areas not expressly addressed in Scripture, facilitates the spiritual discipline of study, increases the boldness and self-image of the Christian community, and is a prerequisite for the essential task of integrating faith and learning. Here is a lively and comprehensive introduction to philosophy for all who want to know reality.
