But Christians today often don't realize or are skeptical of all that philosophy can offer them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Part 1, author Dolores G. Morris explains why Christians should read and study philosophy. She begins with a historical overview of Christian philosophy from the church fathers to contemporary philosophers and then introduces the basic resources of philosophical reasoning: the role and aim of reason, distinctions between truth and reason and provability, and learning to read like a philosopher. These chapters address three foundational questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWhat\u003c\/em\u003e is philosophy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWhy\u003c\/em\u003e should a Christian study philosophy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHow\u003c\/em\u003e should a Christian study philosophy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Part 2, Morris introduces students to philosophical arguments and questions relevant to Christians.
