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.
