A Christian Philosopher's Path to Truth: 4 Books that Shaped My Thinking
In this episode, Dr. Groothius discusses four influential books that shaped his philosophical perspective. "The God Who Is There" by Francis Schaeffer introduced him to the importance of Christian worldview and apologetics. Blaise Pascal's unfinished work, "Pensées," deepened his understanding of human nature and the Christian view of humanity. C.S. Lewis's "The Abolition of Man" emphasized the necessity of objective moral values. Lastly, Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death" highlighted the impact of media on culture. Royce emphasizes the integration of these works with the Bible in shaping his worldview. Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., is Distinguished University Research Professor of Apologetics and Christian Worldview at Cornerstone University and the author of twenty books, including Beyond the Wager: The Christian Brilliance of Blaise Pascal (InterVarsity, 2024).
