| Philosophy of Religion, Rest for your Minds and Souls. NOTE: If you are really serious about a Philosophy of Life and Living, you will accept some guidance from those who dedicated their total lives to the subject, authorities like Elton Trueblood on Philosophy of Religion, Wayne Oates the Christian Psychologist, Bernard Ramm, conservative Christian expert on Christian Apologetics, Christian Evidences, and Hermeneutics, the science of Bible Interpretation. And oh yes, F. F Bruce, well known commentator of the NEW INTERNATIONAL SERIES of commentaries and respected author on the Bible Canon. Others will be mentioned on this page. As Charles H. Spurgeon wrote in his LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS, "Be not such a wiseacre as to think you have nothing to learn from the past." {See some of the recommended resources below.} |
| 1. RELIGIOUS DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY by Wayne Oates, Christian Psychologist and former Professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, also author of the Christian Pastor, Grace is Sufficient, and Human Suffering. In "Religious Dimensions of Personality Oates presents among other things the goals of being and become such as purpose, community, meaning, and several others. 2. Bernard Ramm, former head of Graduate Religion studies at Baylor, and unquestionable leader with many books on Christian Evidences and Christian Apologetics such as "The Christian View of Science and Scripture", "Protestant Christian Evidences", and "Hermeneutics, the Science of Biblical Interpretation". NOTE: While the BBFers, Bible Baptist Fundamentalists, prefer Rimmer, and he also makes some contributions, all such have the blood stains on their hands of the destroyed careers and reputations as they they started the political Takeover of the SBC starting in 1985, and are continuing today lead by DTS to gain doctrinal control, especially on eschatology. Granted while supporting most history and miracles of the Bible, Ramm can not see the accuracy of Babel where languages were changed and humanity was scattered across the Globe as God intended at Creation with the first commission to all humanity. 3. For conservative Christian Bible commentaries, you must have in your library or read at a Library, the AN INTERPRETATION OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE by B. H. Carroll, the founder of SWBTS, the newer set of the NEW INTERNATIONAL COMMENTARIES, especially those by F.F. Bruce, and the books on eschatology by Ray Summers such as WORTHY IS THE LAMB and THE LIFE BEYOND, also do not forget his counter-part at Southern Seminary on THE MEANING AND MESSAGE OF REVELATION. 4. For added confidence or to dispel doubts on the 66 books of the Bible canon, read F.F. Bruce on THE CANON OF THE BIBLE and THE BOOKS AND THE PARCHMENTS. You might throw into a more blessed assurance of faith and for more faith, THE BIBLE AS HISTORY by Werner Keller and BIBLICAL BACKGROUNDS, which combines Bible history with archaeology. 5. If you are still hanging in there on the "Come and See" approach of Christian Evidences {evidences concentrates more on the "prima facie" proofs on Bible, Christ, and God, while apologetics is more philosophical like with Trueblood's "Philosophy of Religion". NOTE: Men like Simon Greenleaf, former dean of the Harvard Law School who wrote "The Testimony of the Evangelists" where among other things he wrote, "The testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John would stand up in any court of law as a prima facie case, that is beyond any reasonable doubt; like Irwin Linton, who practiced law before the Supreme Court and in the day when lawyers were more respected and wrote "A Lawyer Examines the Bible"; also Mosma in THE EVIDENCE OF GOD IN AN EXPANDING UNIVERSE, over 40 scientist of government, education, and industry that see within their distinct professional disciples of science evidence for God. 6. Oh yes, and on the Bible on the Word of God, please read THE WONDER OF THE WORD by McLenndon Day, an excellent chapter by chapter proof of the Bible as the Word of God. 7. Follow the Top 12 Topics of the Bible for a different and internal perspective of how we got the 66 books of the Bible Canon. 8. By the way, did you miss the Introduction to "Come and See" on practical and pragmatic Bible Christian Evidences and Apologetics? 9. Science and Scripture, a good introduction to Bernard Ramm and 40 years with the American Scientific Association. 10. Romans 1:26 on the Correlation between atheism and gays. 11. Famous Last Quotes: Last Bible verses to the wise and the wisdom of the world. |
