title: Loving Wisdom: Christian Philosophy of Religion
author:  Paul Copan 
description: "In this remarkable book Paul Copan not only presents a creative and highly accessible introduction to contemporary philosophy of religion, but in so doing he exemplifies what it really means to be a Christian philosopher--a lover of wisdom who uses God's gift of reason to understand God, the world and humankind better."<br /><br />"Paul Copan has broken new ground in this work. Finally, we have an engaged text that both fairly represents all sides in the classic and current debates in philosophy of religion, and also advances a profoundly Christian philosophy. This should be welcomed by non-Christian and Christian readers who are looking for work that is packed with provocative, cogent arguments and counter-arguments."<br /><br />"Here is a work that is well-rooted in Scripture, enlightened by historical and contemporary philosophical and theological debates, and while quite accessible to undergraduates, it is useful for scholars as well."<br /><br />"The book is so interestingly written that I had a hard time putting it down. It is full to overflowing with both readable, well-stated, incredibly researched arguments against Christianity and successful responses to those arguments. But the single most important factor about Loving Wisdom that makes it utterly unique is the scope of issues it addresses. This is now the go-to book for a readable, powerful Christian treatment of philosophy of religion."
