What was Paul's method precisely, Uber? An insistent by him to use The Outsider Test for Faith?Perhaps, but since Paul argues with the gentile philosophers of his day in Ephesus and Athens, for a period of years in the former case, it boggles the mind that any person reading Acts 13-19 would not duplicate Paul's method.
While philosophy is helpful to some extent, it and various forms of human rationality are not enough to take one to 'faith' in Jesus Christ all by themselves.Further the Christians took over the field of philosophy by the second century and maintained it in Europe until the enlightenment. Perhaps one could throw in the Islamic scholars from 1000-1400 but with such a rich history of rationally arguing from non-biblical premises to theistic conclusions, well it is frustrating.
...oh, which book and quote?One wants to quote Santayana here.
