Book Synopsis
After explaining the difference between rationality and rationalism, the book examines the theme of rationality and logic with regard to three foundational areas: God’s thinking, God’s Word, and man as the image of God. In this endeavor various questions are answered: Does God think logically or is God’s thinking trans-rational? How does the logical law of non-contradiction relate to the Bible?
Is there a necessary connection between a person’s ethics and correct reasoning?
The next section investigates the realms of philosophy, world religions, and theology. Questions include: Which philosophies and religions promote irrationality? and What are some examples of bad theology promoting irrationality? Several powerful apologetical questions to ask New Agers and other proponents of irrational religions are included.
The last section applies what has been learned to three miscellaneous topics: divine miracles; Biblical speaking in tongues; and the Gordon Clark-Cornelius Van Til controversy
