Synopsis

Although typically separated, philosophy and New Testament theology are mutually beneficial for the understanding of the distinctive wisdom that guides Christian thought and life. The Wisdom of the Christian Faith fills a major gap in the literature on the philosophy of religion. It is the first book on the philosophy of religion to be authored entirely by philosophers while directly engaging themes of wisdom in the Christian tradition. The book consists of all new essays, with contributions from John Cottingham, Paul Gooch, Gordon Graham, John Hare, Michael T. McFall, Paul K. Moser, Andrew Pinsent, Robert Roberts, Charles Taliaferro, William Wainwright, Jerry Walls, Sylvia Walsh, Paul Weithman and Merold Westphal.

Media Reviews
'Though written entirely by philosophers and a serious work of Christian philosophy in its own right, I also recommend this book to pastors and seminarians. It is a fitting example of philosophy done in the service of the church, and an illustration of theological and pastoral benefits that such endeavors can produce.' J. Thomas Chopp, Themelios
This is a first-rate contribution to the emerging field of analytic theology. Beginning with the philosophical quest for wisdom, it provides fresh, dense, provocative, and illuminating treatments of crucial theological themes, such as knowledge of God, love, atonement, forgiveness, temptation, and hope. This is essential reading for both philosophers and theologians. William J. Abraham, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University
Although philosophy is supposed to be a quest for wisdom, recent philosophers have had little to say about the subject. This book is an exception. These distinguished philosophers not only write insightfully about wisdom, but they exhibit wisdom in their essays, which plumb the depths of Christian faith and show its power to confront a range of issues, both theoretical and practical. C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University
A masterful array of stimulating philosophical essays, exploring the role of the idea of wisdom in Christian thought. The distinguished contributors themselves supply great wisdom to the theme. Roger Trigg, Emeritus, University of Warwick, and Senior Research Fellow, Kellogg College, Oxford
