In this episode, Dr. Groothius discusses four influential books that shaped his philosophical perspective.
"The God Who Is There" by Francis Schaeffer introduced him to the importance of Christian worldview and apologetics.
Blaise Pascal's unfinished work, "Pensées," deepened his understanding of human nature and the Christian view of humanity.
C.S. Lewis's "The Abolition of Man" emphasized the necessity of objective moral values.
Lastly, Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death" highlighted the impact of media on culture. Royce emphasizes the integration of these works with the Bible in shaping his worldview.
