Four Views on Christian Metaphysics

Four Views on Christian Metaphysics presents four prominent views held among Christians today on the major questions in philosophical metaphysics. What is the nature of existence itself? What is it for something to exist? What are universals? What is the soul? How do these things relate to God, in light of special and general revelation? The four Christian perspectives presented in this book are: Platonism, Aristotelianism, idealism, and postmodernism. The purpose of this book is to help Christians think deeply and carefully about a Christian view of the ultimate nature of reality and our place in it.

Timothy M. Mosteller is professor of philosophy at California Baptist University. He is the author of The Heresy of Heresies: A Defense of Christian Metaphysical Realism, and co-editor of Contemporary Perspectives on C. S. Lewis' Abolition of Man.
