Poythress Explains the Laws of Human Reasoning and How to Apply Them in Light of the Gospel\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumans 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 complex 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 (Rom. 12:1-2)--inform our reasoning?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVern 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThorough Study of Reasoning: \u003c\/strong\u003eExplores the 3 fundamental laws of logic along with various kinds of analogy, including syllogistic reasoning, formal deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, and scientific models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFrom the Author of \u003cem\u003eLogic: A God-Centered Approach to the Foundation of Western Thought\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis book continues Poythress's look at reasoning, placing it under the lordship of Christ\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGreat for Students, Pastors, and Christian Philosophers: \u003c\/strong\u003e Includes helpful visuals and appendices for learning and applying various systems of logic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vern S Poythress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40699180286001,"sku":"9781433587313","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781433587313.jpg?v=1780470923","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781433587313_redeeming-reason","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
