Summary: A remarkable work of religious philosophy
Review: The Institute of Christian Studies is housed in a small, nondescript historical building in downtown Toronto. Small as its structure appears to be, it feeds and fosters great minds, minds which can develop deep and applicable Christian philosophy. This compendium tackles philosophy in the post-modern world, unashamedly proclaiming faith as the centre of philosophy. Coming from a generally a Reformed, and particularly, a Dooyweerdian perspective, these essays delve into areas that traditional philosophy often hesitates to tread. In doing so, however, by grasping at the advantages of proclaiming truth within a community that postmoderity allows, Olthius has brought together great minds for a great read. This is not an easy work, especially for those who are not at least somewhat familiar with philosophy. And those who do not subscribe to Christianity may find this attempt brazenly subjective. I think that this is the point. For once, THESE philosophers admit to subjectivity as such. There is no such thing as objectivity. Read, think and Enjoy!
