Logic Resources to help Christians think better (Series part Two)
Logic Resources to help Christians think and reason better (Series Part Two)
Logic Series Part One
In a previous thread I mentioned several different informal fallacies used in sermons, teaching, and books (paper or digital). For those interested in expanding their exegetical and theological tool box I am providing some sources here that I have found helpful over the years. I have used them both on a personal growth level and for academic pursuits. They can be found via kindle, logos, pdf, and even paperback or hardback books.
I am listing these alphabetically (not necessarily in order of value, importance, or personal favorites):
Adler, Mortimer J. and Charles Van Doren. How to Read a Book. Revised and Updated Edition. (New York: Simon and Schuster), 1972.
Bluedorn, Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn. The Fallacy Detective. Thirty-Eight Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning. (Muscatine, IA: Christian Logic), 2002.
Bluedorn, Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn. The Thinking Toolbox: Thirty-Five Lessons That will Build your Reasoning Skills. (Muscatine, IA: Christian Logic), 2005.
Carson, D. A. Exegetical Fallacies. Second Edition. (Grand Rapids: Baker), 1996.
Lisle, Jason. The Ultimate Proof of Creation. Resolving the Origins Debate. (Green Forest, AR: New Leaf Publishing), 2010.
Nance, James B. and Douglas J. Wilson. Introductory: Logic. Fourth Edition. (Moscow: Canon Press), 2006.
Nance, James B. Intermediate Logic. Second Edition. (Moscow: Canon Press), 2006.
Pirie, Madsen. How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic. (New York: Continuum), 2006.
Weston, Anthony. A Rulebook for Arguments. Fourth Edition. (Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing), 2009.
I pray these resources will be of help in your logical thinking and evaluating of both text and teaching (especially during this election year).
Comments encouraged.
