“Philosophy after Christ”: James N. Anderson’s review

This morning James N. Anderson, Carl W. McMurray Professor of Theology and Philosophy at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte and author of What’s Your Worldview?: An Interactive Approach to Life’s Big Questions—see a list of his other publications—alerted me to his review, published today, of my Philosophy after Christ: Thinking God’s Th0ughts after Him. It appears on his blog Analogical Thoughts (a.k.a., προγινώσκω, proginōskō, “to foreknow”; see Romans 8:29). For his praise of the book I am grateful, but for his criticisms, I am indebted to him. Please take this link.

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.

“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.
