| 2. Love Your God with All Your Mind: The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul | 
|
By: J. P. Moreland, Dallas Willard Publisher: NavPress June 01, 1997
Pros: excellent and powerful exhortations and arguments to use our minds in loving God and in ministry Cons: 1) The author states that we do not need the Holy Spirit to understand the Scriptures. One passage he did not address in answering objections to this affirmation was Lu 24:45 "Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures..." That suggests to me that we need help. Also the... more

| 3. Kingdom Triangle: Recover the Christian Mind, Renovate the Soul, Restore the Spirit's Power | 
|
By: J. P. Moreland Publisher: Zondervan May 05, 2007
In this wildly ambitious work, Moreland seeks to cure Christianity from the malaise that plagues - the death of drama; he is mostly successful, though not for the reasons he would give. Written for a popular audience, the Kingdom Triangle is divided into two sections; the first attempts to show us the "crisis of our age," attacking Naturalism and Postmodernism as the destroyers of drama. The second... more

| 5. Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview | 
|
By: J. P. Moreland, William Lane Craig Publisher: InterVarsity Press 2003-04
Americans have philosophical denseness of a general variety, but the ignorance is particularly acute when it comes to religious philosophy. In "Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview," J. P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offer a fine remedy as they bestow the Christian community with a comprehensive resource that explains epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, logic, philosophy of science... more

| 6. Escape from Reason: A Penetrating Analysis of Trends in Modern Thoughts (Ivp Classics) | 
|
By: Francis A. Schaeffer Publisher: IVP Books January 30, 2007
Understanding the present culture at large requires a careful study on historical sociology; a subject of Dr. Schaeffer's interest and expertise. By reading "Escape From Reason," the readers would be exposed to the origin and the characteristics of modernity and post-modernity though Schaeffer did not use the latter term; perhaps it had not been invented back then. The title "Escape from Reason" precisely... more

| 8. Body & Soul: Human Nature & the Crisis in Ethics | 
|
By: J.P. Moreland, Scott B. Rae Publisher: InterVarsity Press 2000-04
This book is presumably addressed mainly to Christians who want to hold a philosophically valid view of the body-soul relationship that is compatible with biblical revelation, and who are concerned about the ethical implications.
The first part "Metaphysical Reflections on Human Personhood" presents detailed and sometimes complex arguments for a form of Thomistic substance dualism. The... more

| 9. Three Views on Creation and Evolution | 
|
By: John J. Davis, Howard J. Van Till, Paul Nelson Publisher: Zondervan March 01, 1999
An underlying theme in "Three Views" is that how one understands the nature of science is of primary significance for guiding where one ends up on the creation/evolution issue. Theistic evolutionists, along with secular and atheistic evolutionists, believe that methodological naturalism is a necessary component of science. Restricting science to natural categories of explanation, it is claimed... more

| 10. The Recalcitrant Imago Dei: Human Persons and the Failure of Naturalism (Veritas) | 
|
By: J.P. Moreland Publisher: SCM Press May 30, 2009
J.P. Moreland's The Recalcitrant Imago Dei is a work that outlines a case against naturalism based on what a Christian would define as the "image of God." These recalcitrant (as far as naturalism is concerned) facts include consciousness, free will, rationality, a substantial soul, objective morality, and intrinsic value.
J.P. Moreland has, I believe, outlined a rather magnficent critique... more
