1 " Plantinga explained, the scientific search for truth assumes nature is not all there is. If nature is all there is, then truth itself is a chimera and our human faculties for discovering and knowing it are unreliable. "
― Roger E. Olson , The Essentials of Christian Thought: Seeing Reality through the Biblical Story
2 " The world, including America, is filled with alternative, competing visions of reality—what is ultimately and “really” real behind what everyone sees every day. These visions of reality are philosophies of life, worldviews, or metaphysical perspectives. "
3 " A basic presupposition of this book is that the Bible does contain an implicit metaphysical vision of ultimate reality—the reality that is most important, final, highest, and behind everyday appearances. That vision of reality has been called various things such as “biblical theism” and “biblical personalism.” Perhaps “biblical personal theism” or “biblical theistic personalism” would be good terms for it. "
4 " The point is that if Christianity is compatible with anything and everything it is nothing. "
