IVP Questions in Christian Philosophy | QCP (2 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
How do we know? What should we do? What is real? What is art?
Philosophy, which means “the love of wisdom,” asks such questions in its pursuit of knowledge and understanding of all facets of life: existence, knowledge, ethics, art, and more. But what does it mean for Christians to pursue wisdom when Scripture affirms that the crucified and risen Christ is “the wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1:24)?
IVP Academic’s Questions in Christian Philosophy (QCP) series seeks to help readers in their pursuit of wisdom from a Christian perspective by offering introductory textbooks on the various branches of philosophy. Designed for students with little or no background in the discipline, this series draws upon experts in the field and lays a solid foundation for further philosophical reflection in pursuit of divine wisdom.
For the longest time, we have needed a sharp, accessible, well-written and competent series of books on a range of philosophical topics of importance for forming a thoughtful Christian worldview. Well, now one is being planned, and InterVarsity Press is just the right publisher to pull this off. Designed as undergraduate or graduate texts, as well as providing resources for thoughtful readers everywhere, this series of excellent books, written by well-trained and biblically faithful authors, could not be coming at a better time. I urge Christian schools to require them as texts and churches to make them must-reading. With gratitude and enthusiasm, I highly recommend this wonderful series.

The Church has a vital stake in raising up Christians trained in philosophy, the most fundamental domain of thought, who will help to create a place at our universities and other cultural spaces for Christian ideas. It is my hope that IVP Academic's Questions in Christian Philosophy series will make an important contribution to the training of the next generation of Christian scholars, leaders, and laypeople.

In my early exposure to philosophy, I greatly benefited from reading every book in IVP's Contours of Christian Philosophy series. So I am pleased to recommend this exciting new IVP series—Questions in Christian Philosophy—for the next generation of Christians who are philosophically-minded or just philosophically curious. These volumes bring a fresh, informative, up-to-date discussion of philosophical topics enriched and illuminated by a Christian perspective.
