reviewed Philosophy Begins in Wonder on February 28, 2017 Philosophy Begins in Wonder
This book touts itself as competely objective theology, synthesizing each different theological study to draw their "integrated" conclusions. The process is informative - and most students of the Bible should utilize this method, but throughout the book one quickly understands that the authors are still filtering their assumptions and conclusions through their pre-existing beliefs and assumptions. Maintaining complete objectivity is nearly impossible to do, and I wish the authors would have made this clear from the outset. As a result, I nearly always skipped the Systematic Theology section, opting to read the Historical, Biblical, and Apologetic approaches only, doing my own Systematic synthesis.
I have found that it is definitely best to keep a notebook and pen handy while reading this book to write down moments of inspiraton and revelation as you come across them; there is so much information here, the things you learn or find imporant could be lost in the vastness of the book. The sheer number of epiphanies I have had reading this book could constitute a complete second book of its own!
