| Summary: | Theologians, Biblical scholars, philosophers of religion, and others often confront something called 'Christian philosophy'. It is typically left unclear, however, what such a philosophy consists in, or even what makes such a philosophy distinctive. This article provides some needed clarity by introducing a Christian philosophy of the cross, that is, of Christ crucified. It proposes that what makes a philosophy distinctively Christian is the same thing that makes anything else Christian: the role of Christ crucified. It doing so, it takes exception to some influential 'Advice to Christian Philosophers' offered by Alvin Plantinga, and it draws from some helpful insights of P.T. Forsyth on Christian authority and inquiry. The article offers some uniquely Christian advice to Christian philosophers and others, in accordance with the Christian message of Christ crucified. |
