Product Description

William Hasker addresses some of the most fundamental issues in philosophy, focusing on the meaning of a Christian worldview. The book's primary purpose is to serve as one of several texts in an introductory philosophy course, but it will also be of use to the interested reader outside any formal course framework. Hasker addresses "Freedom and Necessity," "Minds and Bodies," "The World," and "God and the World."

Part of the Contours of Christian Philosophy Series.

Endorsements & Reviews

—Keith E. Yandell, University of Wisconsin

"Christians who want to love God with their minds will welcome Hasker's lucid introduction to the nature of metaphysical thinking."

—Clark H. Pinnock, McMaster Divinity College
