"A very readable, theologically sensitive treatment of crucial philosophical issues of central concern to the Christian faith. Dr. Naugle has done a first-rate job of covering a wide range of issues in a responsible way, while keeping the level of discourse at a truly introductory level. This book fills a needed gap in the literature, and I am delighted to endorse it."
-J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

"This fine book not only makes important explorations in Christian philosophy accessible to those who may be starting out on their intellectual journey; it also offers insights to those of us who are well along in that pilgrimage. Dr. Naugle combines solid scholarship with a firm grasp of how a biblical worldview can help to reclaim a strong Christian intellectual tradition in these confusing-but exciting-times."
-Richard J. Mouw, President, Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Adolescent Christians entering adulthood often have plenty of zeal for the faith, but stand in need of theological facility and in even greater need of philosophical awareness. This little book opens both doors and welcomes the newcomer in to what proves to be-and this, too, can be surprising-a single room of treasures. I especially love how exploring the room brings to light, not only the treasures, but traces of the copious inquiries of an experience Christian scholar and caring teacher of philosophy. It inspires and summons to a life of loving wisdom (philosophy) and loving God."
-Esther L. Meek, Professor of Philosophy, Geneva College; author, Loving to Know: Introducing Covenant Epistemology; A Little Manual for Knowing

"Although I disagree with my esteemed colleague at some points (philosophers are always arguing with each other!), this astute primer serves as a learned, well-written, deeply historical, and biblical treatment of what it means to philosophize as a follower of Jesus Christ. Readers will be richly rewarded by Professor Naugle''s insights, passion, and Christian commitment to philosophy as a divine calling."
-Douglas Groothius, Professor of Philosophy, Denver Seminary; author, Christian Apologetics

"David Naugle''s book is an insightful guide for all ''lovers of wisdom.'' It is readily understandable to the philosophical novice while at the same time offering a rich, theologically informed overview of philosophy''s themes to benefit and challenge the scholar. Dr. Naugle is a philosopher who knows well the importance of worldview formation but also has a passion for thoughtful believers to be transformed into the image of Christ."
-Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University
