Garrett DeWeese and J.P. Moreland: Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult
Nevertheless, I do recommend this book to serious-minded Christians who are anxious to improve themselves and their Christian witness, and who earnestly seek to imitate the apostle Paul in demolishing “arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God” and in taking “captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2Co. 10:4). I think a good deal might be gleaned from this volume (with some perseverance), and the helpful suggestions for further reading at the back provide welcome additional guidance, both for further exploration and for alternative presentations of the different topics presented in this text. Whilst I believe that this book does, in the end, fall short of the goal it has set for itself, this is an admirable effort to elevate the minds of ordinary Christians. I hope to see more of its kind in the future.
