About Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult: A
Product Description 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. Review "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) "J. P. Moreland and Garry DeWeese have provided a thorough overview of the fundamentals of critical thinking and the contemporary challenges, especially from postmodernism, to the claims of theism. This is a valuable addition to the field of Christian apologetics, and students will find this resource to be especially helpful as they engage competing ideas in the university. This book will challenge you to examine your own beliefs with candor and in the light of counterperspectives." (Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker) "Here's your chance to learn the fundamentals of philosophy in an accessible, easy-to-understand format. In the end, you'll wonder how you ever got along without this essential foundation to your faith." (Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Christ and God's Outrageous Claims) "If you want clear thinking on thinking clearly, this book's for you. Moreland and DeWeese undertake an ambitious project, explaining philosophy to nonphilosophers, with a good sense of subject and audience. Readers receive a working introduction to philosophical vocabulary and concepts in an accessible, applied style. It requires effort (they promised it would be only slightly less difficult!), but the reward is greater clarity on what is real, true and good--a worthy goal for any Christian."
