Articles, etc
Here are some articles we've mentioned either in class or by email, or that we just thought would be useful to you in your studies of worldviews:
- Doctrine of the Christian Life - John Frame - On-line preview of his soon-to-be-published book on Christian ethics
- Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism - Alvin Plantinga - According to Evolution, our genes produce behaviors and traits for the purpose of survival, not necessarily for True Knowledge of the world. How, then, can an Evolutionist trust his understanding of Naturalism?
- Epistemological Perspectives and Evangelical Apologetics - Covers the basics of epistemology, discusses biblical perspectives, and implications for apologetics
- Secular Responses to the Problem of Induction - James Anderson - Why can we trust that gravity will hold five minutes from now?
