Audio The below links are to free audio series of Ronald Nash made available by BiblicalTraining.Org. You will need to register to listen to or dowload the lectures, but the process is simple and the reward great. The lectures were recorded in a Seminary classroom.
Faith and Reason: Searching for a Rational Faith (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1988). - This was the primary textbook in a Philosophy of Religion class I took seventeen years ago taught by James Parker. The book is not perfect, but it is very useful and I highly recommend it. In preparation for the the final exam in that class I wrote and memorized poems about all of the major sections of this book. If I can find those poems I will post them for you at a later time.
Christian Faith and Historical Understanding (Richardson, TX: Probe Books, 1992). - I read and reported on this book in a PhD Seminary I was taking on Faith & Reason. I loved watching my lapsed Jesuit Priest professor squirm. Every thinking Christian needs a developed philosophy of history and this book will help you achieve it.
The Word of God and the Mind of Man (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian & Reformed, 1992). - I have read this book so many times that the cover has come off and it is held together with staples and paperclips. I guess I need a new copy. This is a very important book on epistemology. Absolutely must reading!
The Closing of the American Heart: What's Really Wrong with America's Schools (Probe, 1990). Those interested in public education will want to get a copy of this book and read it several times. However, beware! You will be appalled by the state of public education as described by Nash. I'm not sure why this book doesn't show up at Amazon and other retailers, but it is still in print and available directly from Probe. Worldviews In Conflict (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1992). - A nice introductory book on worldview thinking. An excellent introduction for those interested in becoming more analytical in their approach to the cultural milieu.
When A Baby Dies (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1999). - "Is my baby with God now? What does the Bible say to such a question? What hope does it offer parents grieving the loss of a precious child? The answers are merciful; however, the implications are not simple. Is God a universalist? Is there salvation after death? What is the role of infant baptism? And what about the doctrine of depravity? If a baby is born into sin, then what? For parents seeking solace for their grief, and for pastors looking for biblical grounds to offer comfort and assurance, this timely book offers insights that are rich in hope and grounded solidly in Scripture."
Is Jesus The Only Savior? (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994). - "The popular question has spawned the need for a discussion of religious pluralism, presented here in an accessible fashion for the educated lay reader by a leading evangelical theologian-philosopher."
The Concept of God (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1983). - "This work explores philosophical theology, focusing on classical and contemporary discussions of the divine attributes, and is a supplemental text for courses in theology proper, theism, philosophy of religion, and apologetics."
The Meaning of History (Nashville: Broadman & Holman, 1998). - "Is history constantly repeating itself, or is civilization evolving toward a predestined utopia? Is history in God's hands, or does it depend on the whims of man? Tracing the arc of civilization -- from the New Testament to today"
A Biblical Economics Manifesto: Economics and the Christian Worldview. (Creation House, 20002) - "Combining biblical insights, scholarly research and common sense in this hard-hitting economic treatise, James P. Gills, M.D. and Ronald H. Nash, Ph.D., expose current systems threatening true liberty and prosperity. Anyone looking for a balanced review of current world economic systems and the long term consequences of popular trends will find this to be a clear, concise analysis."
The Gospel and the Greeks: Did the New Testament Borrow from Pagan Thought? (Richardson, Tx: Probe Books, 1992). - " Formerly titled Christianity and the Hellenistic World. A critical examination of the claim that Christianity borrowed some of its essential beliefs and practices from Hellenistic philosophy, Greco-Roman mystery religions, and Gnosticism."
Freedom, Justice and the State (Lanham, Md: University Press of America, 1980). - "What do the terms "freedom" and "justice" mean? What is the State? Is the existence of the State justified? What are the proper limits of the power of the State? What about the intervention of the State in economic matters that gives rise to the disputes between advocates of capitalism, socialism, and the welfare state? These are some of the broader questions addressed in this book."
