What is real?

What is truth?

What can we know?

What should we believe?

What should we do and why?

Is there a God?

Can we know him?

Do Christian doctrines make sense?

Can we believe in God in the face of evil?

These are fundamental questions that any thinking person wants answers to. These are questions that philosophy addresses. And the answers we give to these kinds of questions serve as the the foundation stones for consrtucting any kind of worldview.

In Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview J.P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offer a comprehensive introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective. In their broad sweep they seek to introduce readers to the principal subdisciplines of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics and philosophy of religion. They do so with characteristic clarity and incisiveness. Arguments are clearly outlined, and rival theories are presented with fairness and accuracy.

Philosophy, they contend, aids Christians in the tasks of apologetics, polemics and systematic theology. It reflects our having been made in the image of God, helps us to extend biblical teaching into areas not expressly addressed in Scripture, facilitates the spiritual discipline of study, enhances the boldness and self-image of the Christian community, and is requisite to the essential task of integrating faith and learning.

Here is a lively and thorough introduction to philosophy for all who want to know reality.

I really enjoy listening to and watching via YouTube and Podcast William Lane Craig. As I am reading this book I can actually hear him speak (Sorry about about Mr. J.P. Moreland). Due to the depths that Craig AND Moreland go, and it being my first book on Philosophy, the book really stretches my thinking. Terms are used that I have never come across. What is brilliant is that each new term or word is clearly explained when it is used for the first time. If, and when, I forget the meaning I can look back to when the term and word is bolded. It has been said, but I will say it again, it is not a bed time read. But it is a book that is enjoyable if you are willing to spend some time and go through it from beginning to end. Also if you willing to see where Craig and Moreland are going with their arguments and reasonings. I am sure that it has and will continue to change how I analyse any reasonings about what I believe and how to discuss with those who do not have the same beliefs that I hold and treasure.
