Vern S Poythress Humans use reasoning to understand and order the world around us. We apply this logic in a variety of contexts, from classifying simple objects to considering comp lex philosophies. But how should our identity as Christians—made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26–27) with minds renewed by the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:1–2)—inform our reasoning? Vern S. Poythress explains how all human reasoning reflects God’s nature. Providing a foundational understanding of God as the source of rationality, Poythress details the 3 fundamental laws of logic—identity, contradiction, and excluded middle—with a strong focus on analogical reasoning. This robust guide explains types of analogy, ethics applied to logic, the use of analogies in the doctrines of God, and more to give readers a renewed perspective on how to use reason as a follower of God. 208 pages 9781433587313 CROSSWAY Show more
