<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>John Frame evaluates Western philosophy from a Christian worldviewrather than the other way aroundthus both illuminating unbiblical philosophical theories and preparing Christians for today's intellectual challenges.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Christians should evaluate philosophy by biblical criteria. This will shed greater light on the developments in the history of philosophy and better prepare us for the intellectual challenges of our time. The fall of Adam brought intellectual as well as moral corruption on the human race, and the effects of the fall can be seen in the work of philosophers, most of whom try to understand the world autonomously--through reasoning apart from God's revelation. Some philosophers have appealed to God's revelation, but their work has often been compromised with the wisdom of the world. Revelation should inform reason, and not the other way round. In the past, even Christian theology was corrupted by the movement toward intellectual autonomy, creating the tradition of liberalism, which has unhappily dominated academic theology down to the present day. But there is hope--a new generation of Christian thinkers take God's Word seriously. Frame's unique new contribution augments that process.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"John Frame's A History of Western Philosophy and Theology should become an indispensable resource for Christian scholars, pastors, campus ministers, and lay leaders. There are volumes on theology and philosophy, but a volume that deals clearly and forthrightly with both is rare. Not only that, Dr. Frame, who is superbly equipped in each discipline, shows how they are interdependent. A strength of this volume is that he devotes major attention to the modern period that has been so challenging to many Christians who have had great difficulty understanding and responding to secular thought, especially as it developed in the twentieth century. The combination of his profound understanding and pastoral bent sets his books apart from the usual theological writings. This may well be his finest volume."--Luder G. Whitlock Jr., President Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando<br>
