About the Book

Jerusalem and Athens ... and Calvary, revisited: an inquiry towards a Christian philosophy. The relationship between philosophy and Christianity has, of course, a long history, as do the discussions of that relationship. To promote the possibility of "Christian philosophy" is also to comment on this "and" which in the end is understood as that "love" which defines philosophy as the "love of wisdom" (and finally, the wisdom of love). The position of Toward a Christian Philosophy is thus not dissimilar to that of many of the early Church Fathers, though that position is elaborated differently, being enriched by attention to the history of Western philosophy. Surprisingly for many, the texts of Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Paul Ricoeur lend assistance. While on the one hand, the historical, orthodox, and catholic understanding of Christianity is affirmed, on the other, the specifically philosophical pertinence of this understanding emerges from the texts of the "philosophers" considered. Attending to a (Christian) philosophical reflection on (Christian) philosophy offers further 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.
