Jesus and Philosophy: On the Questions We Ask, by Paul Moser

Paper.

I heard about the texts of this author from a friend, of whom Moser was the assessor of his doctoral thesis.

In this document, the author shares a point of view in regard to the attitude Christian philosophers should take when they have to decide about the areas towards they wish to focus on for work and research.

Philosophy is not by default a friend of Christ, nor Christ that of philosophy, even though Christ touches on themes that directly or indirectly impact philosophy, and philosophy can boarder the themes that he talks about.

Then, philosophy can be dedicated to questioning and studying Christ without being committed to him or obey him and be applied like a ministerial tool for the building of the Church; it all depends on the attitude of the philosopher.

For where your area of research is, there your heart will be also.
