Towards a Christian Philosophy
No full textAuthor did not sign the LAC Non-Exclusive License form.The relationship between philosophy and Christianity has, of course, a long history, as do the discussions of that relationship. My own position is not dissimilar to that of many of the early Church Fathers, though of course that position must be elaborated differently for various historical and personal reasons, and hopefully enriched by attention to the history of Western philosophy. As with all such relations, one's understanding of this relation has a lot to do with one's understanding of the terms involved. To promote the possibility of "Christian philosophy" is also to comment on that "and" which might be understood to relate two otherwise distinct and irreconcilable terms. In the end I claim this "and" must be understood as that "love" which defines philosophy as the "love of wisdom" (and finally, the wisdom of love), and does so in terms which (almost) merge-with the surprising assistance of such thinkers as Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Paul Ricoeur-with those of the Church Fathers cited. On the one hand, I intend nothing but the historical, orthodox, and catholic understanding of Christianity, especially with regard to the central figure of Jesus the Christ, the Trinitarian God whom He embodies, represents, and reveals, and the Scriptures given as The Bible. On the other hand, I present the specifically philosophical pertinence of this unique Person as such emerges from the texts of the "philosophers" considered, and in a manner which I claim does not force the issue by reading into their texts what is not there. Attending to a (Christian) philosophical reflection on (Christian) philosophy also offers elaborations of inherited doctrines, both Christian and philosophical, including a way to read and think unique to the outcome. Such is the adventure of this current work
Decolonizing Christian Higher Education with Matt Bernico Pt. I
No full textThe Institute for Christian Studies is a unique fixture in the field of Christian higher education, contributing to academia and also trying to transform it with fidelity to Christ. Yet European Christianity has been responsible for colonizing much of the world, creating troubling patterns of social organization and epistemology.

Perspective (Institute for Christian Studies)
No full textErrata Note: Dettloff, Dean. "Cynics in the Face of Apocalypse." Perspective 48, no. 2 (Sept 2014): 5. The first two sentences of paragraph 5 should read:
To combat modern cynicism, Sloterdijk suggests returning to the figure of Diogenes, emblematic of the ancient philosophical school called “kynicism” (literally, "dog-like"). While Plato ran an academy of the mind, elevating humans to the world of airy forms through reason, Diogenes took baths in the middle of town and requested Alexander the Great to stop blocking his shade. Diogenes’ kynicism contrasts bodily wisdom to theoretical insight, challenging structures not by unveiling their hidden injustices but by embracing one’s embodied life over which no authority has ultimate power.
