Product DescriptionIn a world that denies absolute truth and embraces moral relativism, Christians must acquire tools to communicate the wisdom of God to the world. With an engaging style and illustrations drawn from contemporary culture, this accessible introduction clarifies important concepts and includes two key topics often overlooked in other works---political philosophy and aesthetics.
Product Information
Related ProductsPublisher's DescriptionPhilosophy is defined as the love of wisdom, and college students will certainly admire this Bible-informed introductory level textbook’s fun approach to an often heady subject. The Love of Wisdom is made distinct in its engaging style that includes humor and copious popular culture illustrations to heighten reader interest and clarify important concepts. The book even addresses two key topics often omitted by other texts: political philosophy and aesthetics (beauty and the arts). Students and teachers can also make great use of the study questions for each chapter, a glossary of terms, and further reading suggestions Well-written, well-argued and highly accessible, The Love of Wisdom is a marvelous example of what an introductory philosophy text should be.
