The Journey So Far makes philosophy accessible by unfolding its history as an ongoing
story with a significant plot. Writing from an evenhanded yet distinctly Christian
perspective, Peter Hicks traces the shift from God-centered worldviews to worldviews
based on human reason and relativism.
Using refreshingly clear and simple language, this book uncovers the main trends of
philosophy through the ages. It allows the reader to interact with the most significant
thinkers, from the Hebrews and the early Hindus to Buddha and Plato, on through the
Roman and Medieval periods to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and so on
down to the present day.
The Journey So Far includes a unique exploration of the philosophical ideas connected
with the biblical writings—ideas that have significantly influenced the development
of Western thought and provide the basis for a truly Christian philosophy today. In
addition, the book includes elements of Eastern and non-European (such as African)
thought where relevant.
Icons highlight recurring themes without interrupting the flow of the text, and “To
Think Through” sections throughout the book help the student form personal commentary
on the ideas covered.
This book’s personable, engaging style helps students connect easily with profound
concepts. They will acquire a broad grasp of philosophy and its history. They will better
understand how the story of Western philosophy authenticates the Christian worldview.
And they will also be challenged to shape tomorrow’s world with the ideas they
form and live by today.
Peter Hicks (Ph.D., University of London) studied philosophy at Oxford and London and
for much of his life has combined teaching philosophy at undergraduate and postgraduate
levels with planting and pastoring churches. He is the author of several books on
philosophy, theology and Christian living.
