Description

This is the story of Gordon Clark (1902-85), respected philosopher and prolific author, who held that Christianity, as a logically coherent system, is superior to all other philosophies. Clark fought no wars and conquered no kingdoms. Yet he was once a leading figure in many theological wars fought for the Kingdom of God. These battles for the minds and souls of men were each and every bit as the most important as physical wars between nations. In an age of increasing secularization, he put up an intellectual defense of the Christian faith. This faith, he believed, was once a system. All of its parts link together, a luxury of no other philosophy. His stance shows a Christianity that may be if truth be told intellectual, not relying on appeals to emotion or experience. In propounding this view, he encountered frequent opposition, not from the secular world, but from within his own denomination. This biography helps provide an explanation for why his thought was once so profound, why resistance mounted against him, and how his struggles impacted American Presbyterianism. Additionally, this book calls for a reappraisal of Clark’s views, which were maligned by controversy. Understanding and applying his views could significantly improve Christians combating irrational and non-systematic ideas prevalent in lately’s churches.
