A History of Western Philosophy and Theology is the fruit of John Frames forty-five years of teaching philosophical subjects.
No other survey of the history of Western thought offers the same invigorating blend of expositional clarity, critical insight, and biblical wisdom.
The supplemental study questions, bibliographies, links to audio lectures, quotes from infuential thinkers, twenty appendices, and indexed glossary make this an excellent main textbook choice for seminary- and college-level courses and for personal study.
