This state of affairs deserves some attempt at rectification, since Idealism has considerable explanatory power as a metaphysical thesis and provides numerous practical and theoretical benefits. Such thinkers as George Berkeley and Jonathan Edwards believed that Idealism is especially amenable to a Christian perspective, both because it provides a plausible way of conceptualizing the world from a theistic standpoint and because it effectively addresses skeptical challenges to the Christian faith. The contributors to this volume explore a variety of ways in which the case can be made for this claim, including potential solutions to philosophical problems related to the nature of time, the ontology of physical objects, the mind-body problem, and the nature of science."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aChristian philosophy 606 $aIdealism 606 $aPhilosophy and religion 606 $2Philosophy of religion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian philosophy. 615 0$aIdealism. 615 0$aPhilosophy and religion. 676 $a261.5/1 702 $aCowan$b Steven B.$f1962- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511786003321 996 $aIdealism and Christian philosophy$92553133 997 $aUNINA
