Absolute Truth About Relativism: The Fundamental Delusion of Our Time

By: Breshears, Jefrey D.

Price: $3.50

Publisher: Areopagus The: March 2013

Seller ID: 339977

ISBN: 0983068054

Condition: Used - Very Good

The Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga writes that as a student at Yale the academic culture was wonderfully stimulating, free and open in most every respect but one: whenever the question, "What is the truth about this matter?" came up, it was usually dismissed as unsophisticated and naive. Obviously, Pilate's question to Jesus, "What is truth?" remains an open issue and an unsolvable riddle - if not a purely rhetorical question - to most of our current crop of cultural elites. As William Gairdner notes in The Book of Absolutes, "Ironically, relativism has become our only absolute."

I And Thou

Price: $3.50

Publisher: Free Press: June 1970

Seller ID: 40516

ISBN: 0684717255

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

Martin Buber's I and Thou has long been acclaimed as a classic. Many prominent writers have acknowledged its influence on their work; students of intellectual history consider it a landmark; and the generation born since World War II considers Buber as one of its prophets.
The need for a new English translation has been felt for many years. The old version was marred by many inaccuracies and misunderstandings, and its recurrent use of the archaic "thou" was seriously misleading. Now Professor Walter Kaufmann, a distinguished writer and philosopher in his own right who was close to ...

***Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious

By: Dark

Price: $11.97

Publisher: IVP Books: February 2016

Seller ID: 339569

ISBN: 0830844465

Condition: New

For many of us, the word "religious" immediately evokes thoughts of brainwashing, violence and eye-rubbingly tiresome conversations. Why not be done with it? David Dark argues that it's not that simple. The ease with which we put the label on others without applying it to ourselves is an evasion, a way of avoiding awareness of our own messy allegiances. Dark writes: "If what we believe is what we see is what we do is who we are, there's no getting away from religion." Both incisive and entertaining, Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious combines Dark's keen powers of cultur...

How Do We Know?: An Introduction to Epistemology

By: Dew Jr., James K., Foreman, Mark W.

Price: $19.99

Publisher: IVP Academic: January 2014

Seller ID: 329063

ISBN: 0830840362

Condition: New

What does it mean to know something? Can we have confidence in our knowledge? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, can often seem like a daunting subject. And yet few topics are more basic to human life. We are inquisitive creatures by nature, and the unending quest for truth leads us to raise difficult questions about the quest itself. What are the conditions, sources and limits of our knowledge? Do our beliefs need to be rationally justified? Can we have certainty? In this primer on epistemology, James Dew and Mark Foreman guide students through this discipline in philosophy. By asking basi...

Free Will: A Philosophical Study (Focus Series)

By: Ekstrom, Laura Waddell

Price: $7.50

Publisher: Westview Press: December 1999

Seller ID: 334970

ISBN: 0813390931

Condition: Used - Very Good

In this comprehensive new study of human free agency, Laura Waddell Ekstrom critically surveys contemporary philosophical literature and provides a novel account of the conditions for free action. Ekstrom argues that incompatibilism concerning free will and causal determinism is true and thus the right account of the nature of free action must be indeterminist in nature. She examines a variety of libertarian approaches, ultimately defending an account relying on indeterministic causation among events and appealing to agent causation only in a reducible sense. Written in an engaging style and i...

Seller ID: 320404

ISBN: 0830839607

Condition: Used - Very Good

"The unexamined life is not worth living," according to Socrates, but pursuing the examined life strikes many as daunting, unappealing and even unnecessary. Is philosophy important? Why do I need philosophy if I have the Bible? Aren't philosophers simply engaged in meaningless disputes that are irrelevant to everyday life? Mark Foreman addresses these and other questions in this "prelude" to the subject. Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, this book is a preliminary discussion that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning. In the first ...

We Are All Philosophers: A Christian Introduction to Seven Fundamental Questions

By: Frame, John M.

Price: $15.99

Publisher: Lexham Press: August 2019

Seller ID: 336093

ISBN: 1683593103

Condition: New

Everyone is a philosopher, and how we live reveals what we most deeply believe.

If you and God were asked the same question, would you both respond in the same way?
Are Christians right to believe what we do?

In We Are All Philosophers, John M. Frame takes seven major questions of philosophy and compares the Bible's answers with common philosophical ones:

What is everything made of?
Do I have free will?
Can I know the world?
Does God exist?
How shall I live?
What are my rights?
How can I be saved?

People often talk about worldview when describing the philosophy that guides their lives. But how have we come by our worldviews, and what impact did Christianity have on those that are common to Western civilization? This authoritative, accessible survey traces the development of the worldviews that underpin the Western world. It demonstrates the decisive impact that the growth of Christianity had in transforming the outlook of pagan Roman culture into one that, based on biblical concepts of humanity and its relationship with God, established virtually all the positive aspects of Western c...

Hailed by John Kenneth Galbraith almost a half century ago as a "brilliant achievement, The Worldly Philosophers with more than 2 million copies sold, not only enables us to see more deeply into our history, but helps us to better understand our own times. Heilbroner provides the new theme that connects thinkers as different as Adam Smith and Karl Marx: the desire to understand how a capitalist society works. It is a focus never more needed than in this age of confusing economic headlines.

In a bold new last chapter titled "The End of the Worldly Philosophy?" Heilbroner reminds us that the w...

Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World

Price: $8.50

Publisher: Crossway Books: October 2007

Seller ID: 138603

Condition: Used - Very Good

Everyone has a worldview. How did we get it? How is it formed? Is it possible by persuasion and logic to change one's worldview?

In Rethinking Worldview, writer and worldview teacher J. Mark Bertrand has a threefold aim. First, he seeks to capture a more complex, nuanced appreciation of what worldviews really are. Then he situates worldviews in the larger context of a lived faith. Finally, he explores the organic connections between worldview and wisdom and how they are expressed in witness.

Bertrand's work reads like a conversation, peppered with anecdotes and th...

God: A Biography

Price: $4.50

Publisher: Vintage: April 1996

Seller ID: 39943

Condition: Used - Very Good

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE

What sort of "person" is God? What is his "life story"? Is it possible to approach him not as an object of religious reverence, but as the protagonist of the world's greatest book--as a character who possesses all the depths, contradictions, and abiguities of a Hamlet? This is the task that Jack Miles--a former Jesuit trained in religious studies and Near Eastern languages--accomplishes with such brilliance and originality in God: A Biography.

Using the Hebrew Bible as his text, Miles shows us a God who evolves through his relationship with man, the ...
