1. Does Truth Exist?, Apologetics, Christian Mind, Christianity, critical thinking, Epistemology, Gospel, Intellect, J. Brian Huffling, logic, metaphysics, philosophy

Many Christians believe that philosophy is a pagan discipline practiced either by ivory tower professors or Starbucks hippies. This belief has led some to object to the relevance of philosophy, as either they believe only a few can do it, or that it deals with such weird and abstract issues that it is a waste of time. Many Christian theologians object that philosophy is rooted in paganism, and thus has no place in Christian theology. After explaining what philosophy is, it should become clear that not only do these objections fail, but philosophy is unavoidable. For the Love of Wisdom… ‘Philosophy’ literally means “love (phil) of wisdom (sophia).” It is the quest for knowledge, truth, and how to live the good (moral) life. Fields of Philosophy There are several branches…
