Christian Philosophy as a Way of Life – An Invitation to Wonder

Philosophy is often seen as irrelevant to everyday life, but Ross Inman argues that it is one of the most practical subjects of study, satisfying our deep human need to make sense of the world. He shows that wonder is the distinctively human posture that drives and sustains the examined life and makes a compelling case that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry. This book recovers a more classical vision of Christian philosophy as an entire way of life and is an ideal introductory book for students of philosophy, Christian thought, and worldview studies.

Philosophy is frequently perceived as irrelevant to everyday life. In this concise and accessible introduction, Ross Inman delves into four underlying assumptions that underpin inquiries about the relevance of philosophy. He demonstrates that philosophy is one of the most practical subjects of study, as it fulfills our innate human desire to make sense of the world around us. This book reclaims a more classical vision of Christian philosophy as a holistic way of life. Inman argues that wonder is the distinctive human posture that propels and sustains the examined life and makes a compelling case for the value, practicality, and significance of philosophy in every aspect of Christian life and ministry. Engaging in philosophical inquiry as a Christian enables us to cultivate a proper attunement to what is true and good in Christ and to orient our lives toward the highest goals worth pursuing. This book serves as an ideal introductory resource for students of philosophy, Christian thought, and worldview studies. It is also suitable for classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts.
