Should Christians Study Philosophy?

In this snippet from our longer podcast, we dive deep into the age-old debate: "What has Jerusalem to do with Athens?" This discussion reflects on whether Christians should engage with philosophy, touching on early church father Tertullian’s famous question. We explore how philosophy, much like mathematics, helps us reason and ask the bigger questions about life, purpose, and faith. Together, we challenge the false dichotomy between philosophy and Christian belief, highlighting insights from Bavinck on general and special revelation. By rooting our worldview in God’s truth, rather than self-referential thinking, we discover how to approach philosophy from a Christian perspective.
