Philosophy and the Christian Worldview

"Philosophy and the Christian Worldview is an exciting, rigorous, fresh treatment of a number of important issues that surface in the act of assessing the merits of a Christian worldview.  What impressed me most about the book is its unity and thematic development.  While the book included a number of different authors, they have managed to write as one.  The book moves carefully from the issue of religious pluralism and worldview assessment, to epistemic topics relevant to the topics surfaced in part one.  Given these epistemic considerations, we are then presented with discussions of the relationship between religion and morality and religion and central metaphysical concerns.  This book will make an excellent text for a course in philosophy of religion."  -- JP Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University, USA and author of Consciousness and the Existence of God (Routledge, 2008)
"The editors have aptly assembled an impressive array of Christian philosophers to honor Professor Keith Yandell's remarkable contributions to the philosophy of religion. The contributors, including Yandell himself, rigorously assess various truth claims pertaining to religious beliefs, and in so doing, provide some significant rational support for the truth of the Christian worldview." - Douglas Groothius, Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary and the author of Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith.
All the essays are lucid and provocative. Each rewards close attention. All exhibit attributes that are associated with the analytic style: clarity and finely worked analytic reasoning. Some, in particular Wainwright's and Reasoner's chapters, treat with sympathy and care religious traditions other than Christianity. -- James Kellenberger, California State University, Northridge * NDPR *
Every essay offers clear and interesting discussions on a wide variety of topics within philosophy of religion and theology. Werther and Linville have done a fine job at bringing together these contributors to offer a careful analysis and development of the Christian worldview while at the same time engaging in cross-cultural assessment. This book deserves a close read from philosophers and theologians. -- R.T. Mullins, University of St Andrews (Scotland, UK) * Themelios *
This very rich collection . . . well illustrates the new rapprochement between orthodox Christianity and analytical philosophy, which would have astonished informed persons fifty or sixty years ago. * The Heythrop Journal *
