Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult - A Beginner`s Guide to Life`s Big Questions Summary

Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult - A Beginner`s Guide to Life`s Big Questions by Garrett J. Deweese

From time to time we all face life's big questions . . .
  • What is real?
  • How do we know what we know?
  • What is right?
  • Who or what am I?
  • How should we view science and its claims?
And as we wrestle with these issues, we may even find ourselves thinking, Perhaps what I need is a good dose of philosophy. It's a shame philosophy is so difficult. Garrett DeWeese and J. P. Moreland understand this frustration and in this book offer help to make philosophy at least slightly less difficult. In straightforward language with everyday examples, they explain the basics needed to understand philosophical concepts and thus bring clarity to discussions of life's big questions. Students, pastors, campus workers and ordinary Christians will all benefit from this user-friendly guide.

Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult - A Beginner`s Guide to Life`s Big Questions Reviews

The volume will enable a Christian desiring a greater understanding of the nature of logical thought and sound argumentation to better formulate his or her own apologetic and Christian theistic worldview. Not only that, but the volume, if read by a serious unbeliever, could break down some barriers lying in the way of his acceptance of Christ's Lordship. -- Stone-Campbell Journal, Spring 2007
