“Biblical” Critical Theory
The author, Christopher Watkin engages secular philosophers with depth, thoughtfulness and insight, often times exposing some of the fallacies of their views. With objectivity Watkin grants the same thinkers recognition of those thoughts and ideas that may be helpful or useful for his essay. If there is any critique of this aspect of Watkin’s work…
Deep Thought
Think four levels deeper. What color is the rainbow? Answer: all colors. What are all colors? Blue, Red, Yellow, Green and shades in between.
