| | Christian philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The problem of philosophy arises for them as something other than a task given by God in Christ to humanity, and so theirs is the problem of reconciling their activity as a deontological imperative insofar as they deny that philosophy is inherent in the creational ensemble as one task-activity among the many given by God. | | | As with any fusion of religion and philosophy, the attempt is difficult because classical philosophers start with no preconditions for which conclusions they must reach in their investigation, while classical religious believers have a set of religious principles of faith that they hold one must believe. | | | Jesus: The life and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels form the basis of Christianity. |

| | Philosophy and Christian Theology |
| | From the beginning, Christians have affirmed the claim that there is one God and that three persons are God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. | | | Since God both created the world which is accessible to philosophy and revealed the texts accessible to theologians, the claims yielded by one cannot conflict with the claims yielded by another unless the philosopher or theologian has made some prior error. | | | The philosopher can provide some assistance here, since, among other things, he or she can help the theologian discern which models are, for example, logically inconsistent and thus not even candidates for understanding the relationship of divine and human natures in Christ. |

| | John DePoe's Christian Philosophy and Apologetics |
| | The central claim of Christianity is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. | | | Perhaps the central issue in philosophy of religion is the question of whether God exists. | | | Classically, the arguments for God's existence have been consisted of the Ontological, Cosmological, and Teleological arguments. |

| | Clement used this side of philosophy to show that all human beings are rational and have within them the "spark of reason" or the "divine spark".[23] Secondly, Stoicism was used to show to pagan converts that Christian morals were actually quite similar to the ethics they had somewhat embraced in their Stoic beliefs. | | | He showed that both philosophers and Christians believed in the same doctrines, and that the faith was actually for one and all, regardless of their education. | | | As for Christians, Clement perceived that if Christianity was to be more than a religion for the uneducated it must come to terms with Greek philosophy and Greek science; simple-minded Christians must no longer "fear philosophy as children fear a scarecrow".[6] Clement encouraged Christians to study philosophy. |

| | Direction: The Idea of Christian Philosophy |
| | For Hume, faith as the condition for belief in the miracles of the Christian religion is equivalent to a nonrational opinion. | | | And the separations made within both the modern and postmodern worldviews of church from state, of science from religion, of beauty from art, and of sex from love, are each, in part, consequences of that divorce of reason from the world of facts and faith from its foundations in reason. | | | That understanding—where faith is conceived primarily in terms of an activity of the will—destroys the integrity of Christian belief. |

| | Pope Leo XIII 4 August 1879 On Restoration of Christian Philosophy. |
| | Wherefore, it is the glory of philosophy to be esteemed as the bulwark of faith and the strong defense of religion. | | | Hence it is that certain truths which were either divinely proposed for belief, or were bound by the closest chains to the doctrine of faith, were discovered by pagan sages with nothing but their natural reason to guide them, were demonstrated and proved by becoming arguments. | | | For surely that is a worthy and most useful exercise of reason when men give their minds to disproving those things which are repugnant to faith and proving the things which conform to faith. |

| | Philosophy of Christian Education at Cornerstone Christian School |
| | A real Christian education produces men and women who are mighty in spirit, disciples of Christ, conquerors for their King, ready and willing to take every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. | | | Christians are sometimes criticized by well meaning Christian friends stating, "You can't protect your children from the real world, if you isolate them they won't be able to function properly!" I submit that reality is known from God's Word. | | | In Christian education this approach uses scripture as the foundation for all subjects and teaching methods. |

| | Can Philosophy be Christian? [Free Republic] |
| | In Aristotle’s philosophy of active/passive mind, he speculated that passive mind was mortal and died with the individual, but that active mind led an eternally amnesiac existence in the super-lunary realm. | | | As an historical note, it must be explained that modern (non-Catholic) orthodox Christian philosophy has primarily been carried on by the Reformed churches, largely because they resisted the lapse into fundamentalism which occurred in many Christian denominations during the early part of the twentieth century. | | | Religious philosophies must, by the nature of faith, avoid reality when reality conflicts with articles of faith; and that is the fatal flaw within religious philosophies. |

| | Philosophy of Christian Education |
| | We define Christian education as an educational process in which God works through His committed teachers, biblical methods, and truthful curriculum materials to build disciples with the biblical world view, character, and skills necessary to fulfill God's calling and live to His glory. | | | From the personal perspective, a Christian must continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ as an aspect of the normal Christian life. | | | We recognize that Christian schools have distinctives which not only separate them from secular schools (those which leave the God of Scripture out), but also distinguish them from each other. |

| | The relation between Christianity and Political Philosophy is itself an aspect of the problem of reason and revelation and their interrelationship. | | | A Christian forgets at his peril that the origin of evil, to recall the account in Genesis of the Garden, does not arise from man's lack of material goods. | | | But the spiritual life of the philosopher or saint, at its highest, in what transcends politics, consists, in part, in seeking to resolve the different claims of truth in such a manner that reason and faith are allowed to operate and to conclude issues in conflict. |
