Customer Reviews

A must for any Philosophy minded Christian!

From insightful introductions into the primary sources, you are drawn into the world of the erudite when you pick up this work. Not a light read, but as interesting as they come. The editor does a great job of choosing the sources which he includes, always finding people well versed in the field and picking thier best material. The only warning other than the reading level is be prepared to go deep into what you believe to be ethical, because this one will make you question.
