By FD Staff
Category: Philosophy

What is “Christian” education? How is it different from “public” education? What makes Christian education “Christian”?
No. 1. Is it “Christian” because the teacher is a Christian? If so, the public school system is Christian education because it has teachers who are Christians.
No. 2. Is it “Christian” because a moral message is given with the lessons [...]



Logic and the Bible

By Dr. Robert Morey
Category: Apologetics, Philosophy

We can use logic as a tool without being a rationalist because logic itself finds its ontological basis in the nature of the Creator of all things. In term of its nature, a particular principle of human logic is valid if it reflects the Mind of God as revealed in Scripture. Logic thus has an [...]



Materialism

By Dr. Robert Morey
Category: Apologetics, Atheism, Philosophy

One assumption underlying modern atheism is the philosophical system called materialism. Essential to the atheist’s world view, this belief forms his basic attitude toward man and his place in the universe.
The word “materialism” is used in various ways. Its most popular usage refers to people guilty of greed and avarice, a “materialist” being someone whose [...]



The Relative Logic of Atheists

By Dr. Robert Morey
Category: Apologetics, Atheism, Philosophy

The relationship between modern atheism and logic is a precarious one. Beginning with the assumption that there is no God, and, hence, no absolute exists to serve as the basis for any other absolutes, the blight of relativism infected all fields of knowledge.

The Incomprehensibility of God

By Dr. Robert Morey
Category: Apologetics, Philosophy, Theology

The God who has revealed Himself in Scripture tells us that He is going to be “incomprehensible” to us. But does this mean that God is going to be irrational or illogical? No. It means that God is beyond man’s capacity to understand or explain exhaustively. In this sense, God is beyond human reason and [...]



An Evangelical Appraisal of Greek Philosophy in General and Aristotle in Particular

By Dr. Robert Morey
Category: Apologetics, Philosophy

Evangelical Christians have historically held fast to the principle of sola scriptura as defined by the Protestant Reformers. The truth about God, man, sin and salvation has been revealed in the Bible alone. The self-revelation of God in Scripture is thus the final court of appeal in all matters of faith and practice. To “go [...]
