My Substack focuses on Christian Individualism, both the idea and the book. This site is for everything else.

I have wound up, by both God’s grace and design, an apologist for or “theoretician” of Christian Individualism.[1] As more than 300 essays on this site attest, however, some stones on this long, winding road were stumbling, not stepping, stones.

But not all. There were verdant pastures where I took shade with fascinating people who lightened my load. This site will continue to explore both the rocky road and the times of refreshment, populated with channels of God’s grace. (I may very well blog my memoir into existence as I did my other books.) You will take an interest in these explorations only if they resonate with you. To do that, however, they will somehow have to scratch where your mind is itching. As their author, I have limited control over my sowing’s efficacy. I’ll have to leave any reaping to God.

Philosophy after Christ: Thinking God’s Thoughts after Him

“This is a fascinating book! Written with admirable clarity, erudition, and not a little panache, it addresses itself to the question ‘What must the world be like for there to be intersubjective communication and reasoning among intelligent (pattern-grasping) and rationally exigent beings with reliable, but fallible, memories, with a grasp of numbers as well as beauty, for there to be mutual criticism according to shared rational norms?’ . . . Reading Anthony Flood’s book gave me a headache, but the right kind of headache.” Gerard N. Casey MA, LLM, PhD, DLitt., Professor Emeritus, University College Dublin. Amazon.co.uk review, August 3, 2022

“Flood is a punchy, witty writer, and the material in these chapters is illuminating and a delight to read. . . . Flood succeeds in what I take to be his principal aims: to press for a philosophy that honors the lordship of Jesus Christ, and to draw out some of its major implications for engagement with non-Christian systems of thought. . . . I hope that Tony will . . . continue to direct his considerable intellectual and rhetorical gifts toward these important issues.” James N. Anderson, PhD, Carl W. McMurray Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary. Analogical Thoughts [blog], March 7, 2023
