A History of Western Philosophy and Theology
John M. Frame
Christians should evaluate philosophy through biblical criteria, exposing the impact of Adam’s fall on human reasoning. Many philosophers rely on autonomy rather than God’s revelation, leading to compromise. Yet hope lies in a new generation of thinkers committed to God’s Word, as Frame highlights.
He Is There and He Is Not Silent

Philosophy, Science, and the Sovereignty of God
Vern S. Pythress
Do You Believe?
Paul David Tripp
Doctrine―what Christians believe―directly influences how they live. The biblical truths about God, humanity, and the world are not merely about knowing more―they are also about loving God and making sense of this life and the life to come. But what happens when there is disparity between what believers confess and how they live?
The God Who Is There
Francis A. Schaeffer
Francis Schaeffer’s first book examines the intellectual and cultural climate of the 20th century, addressing philosophy, art, and liberal theology. He calls Christians to engage their generation with apologetics and spirituality rooted in absolute truth and all of reality.
