Philosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-AnalysisIt was in 1965 that Roy Clouser's academic career began when he landed a job as instructor in symbolic logic at Rutgers University, New Jersey. Since then, he has worked full-time as an academic, doing what philosophers usually do these days - undertake various research projects, deliver lectures an Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisd publish books. In a recent article (2008 No. 41), he explained his early philosophical interest with these words:An interest in philosophy had infecRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis

And right from Its onset, my concern was always how to deal with philosophiPhilosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisristian belief relate to theories?In this essay I introduce the collection of Roy Clouser's writings. These writings, many of which can be accessed from the All of Life Redeemed website, are the published results of his philosophical wrestling with such basic questions. So, in this essay I am seekin Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisg to address students who, like Clouser, are thinking about philosophical issues but first want an answer to a preliminary question - How does what IRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis
believe relate to theories?Let me try to summarise Clouser’s answer in a few paragraphs: any theory, he writes, is regulated by the theorist's "diviniPhilosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisity" is what is believed to be non-dependently real, that upon which everything, including that which is theorised about, ultimately depends. So, he argues, all theories are controlled by some such belief, and this understanding of how religious beliefs relate to theories applies to all theorists, t Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysishe Christian and the Hindu as much as the materialist and the agnostic who might maintain that their theories are religiously neutral. The religious nRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis
eutrality of theories is a myth, says Clouser. The attempt to keep science and religion separate is itself dependent upon an alternative religious posPhilosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisoretical act of abstraction to form concepts does not happen without the theorist's "divinity beliefs" controlling the theory-making.In that sense Christian belief relates to theories in the same way that any other religious belief relates to theories. Christian belief is theistic and holds that all Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis of creation depends upon the Creator who has been revealed to US in Jesus Christ. But Christian belief does not have some1kind of exclusive corner onRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis
religious belief. Those who have other religious beliefs cannot avoid ascribing "divinity" to something, or some principle - and if such ascription iPhilosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisief. That possibility is not just about what the "other guys" believe; it is a religious tendency that the Christian is called by the scriptures to resist in the theorising task itself. The Christian belief leads US to a view of theorising that a theory will imply either belief in the true God who h Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisas been revealed to US in Jesus Christ, or it will make its "ultimate" appeal to an idol. The Christian's "ultimate" or "absolute" point of referenceRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis
is given in the Word made flesh, God incarnate, the Son of God. And the knowledge of God the Son, scripture teaches, impacts all knowledge (1 Cor 1:5,Philosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisief about what is "ultimate" or "absolute" in our reality. To repeat: to engage in theorymaking, a theorist will necessarily appeal to a "divinity belief", to that which is simply believed to be "the way things are", "that upon which everything else depends". And that, in very brief compass, summari Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisses Clouser's answer to the persistent question that concerned him long before he became an academic.I have given this essay the title: Philosophy asRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis

In my judgment the formulation of Clouser's philosophical "answer" is the most important Christian contributi Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysison to philosophy, at least over the past 30 years. And so, I would encourage anyone reading this, who finds the preceding paragraphs too difficult, toRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis

He has explained its implications, addressed various misunderstandings and expanded upon its application to the special sciences.Outline of DiscussionSome readers may have begun reading this essay hoping to get a brief statement of the basic idea of Clouser's Christian philosophy before tackling Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis his writings. Well, I hope they have found that in what I have just formulated. If they wish, and without further ado, they may now turn to the annotRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis

Those who already know Clouser's work, or who have some Philosophy as Dependable Analysis:Roy Clouser's Contribution to Christian ScholarshipPartiIntroduction: How Does Christian Belief Relate to Theories?I Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisist Christian students who, like Clouser in his earliest study of philosophy, have become aware of unresolved philosophical issues and want to deal with them from a Christian standpoint. They may be just about to enter university after finishing high-school, or they may be considering further post-g Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysisraduate studies after completing their first degree. This does not mean that what follows is easy. On the contrary it may prove to be rather difficultRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis

Clouser has been employed as a Professor of Philosophy and Religion, and so, for this discussion, I have deemed it useful to discuss the kind of "work" he has done in this academic position.First, we will discuss some of the issues that may come to mind when a student i Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysiss thinking about enrolling in a philosophy course. We will outline some of the anomalies that occur when we try to define philosophy as peculiar kindRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis

I believe that Clouser's philosophical discussion can help students develop a coherent appraisal of their study situations and3negotiate the ambiguities they confront in their lives a Roy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysiss students as well as the content of their courses.The aim here is to try to sketch some key aspects of the educational context in which Clouser has aRoy-Clouser-Philosophy-as-Dependable-Analysis
