For Faith and Clarity

In this book, some of today's leading Christian philosophers discuss the proper relationship between philosophy and theology, and demonstrate recent significant contributions of philosophy to the clarification of core Christian doctrines.

The apostle Paul warned believers to be wary of deceptive philosophy, and many Christians have taken this admonition to mean avoiding any involvement with the subject. What, though, is the proper relationship between philosophy and theology? How can philosophy contribute to theology? In addition, how can philosophy help believers understand core doctrines of the Christian faith? James Beilby and some of the leading Christian philosophers of the twenty-first century address and answer these questions in For Faith and Clarity. The renowned contributors include William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, Alan Padgett, Alvin Plantinga, and Nicholas Wolterstorff. Those interested in philosophical theology and apologetics-whether they be professors, students, or general readers-will benefit from this book.Read less
