Thinking Deeply

"""It isn't every book that can pithily recount complex philosophical explorations, and it isn't every author who can offer meditations on philosophy that inspire and inform, but this is that book, and Steve Wilkens is that author. Whether you're first becoming acquainted with philosophy and its champions or seeking a resource that connects you to the pursuit of wisdom in a refreshing way, you'll find this book a valuable resource."" --Timothy R. Gaines, associate professor of religion, Trevecca Nazarene University ""The gift of spending a lifetime teaching a subject is not just obtaining a depth of knowledge but forming the ability to make that knowledge accessible to everyone. Steve Wilkens has a gift for making the greatest philosophical thinkers not only accessible but relevant to the everyday person. Thinking Deeply is another gift from Steve to those who want to live faithfully, thoughtfully, and gracefully."" --T. Scott Daniels, general superintendent, Church of the Nazarene ""Steve Wilkens' book is a rare treat for both dabblers and serious students of philosophy. Combining brevity with richness, Thinking Deeply at once draws us in and leaves us curious for further intellectual adventure. Whether one reads it solo or engages it with a reading group, this book will stimulate discussion and wonder about how various answers to life's big questions intersect with matters of Christian concern."" --Chad Bogosian, philosophy instructor, Clovis Community College"
