Logic: The Art of Defining and Reasoning (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a "classic" introduction to classical logic. This book is important for today in understanding not only the foundations of logic itself but also in contrasting the traditional Aristoltelian logic with the modern symbolic versions. Oesterle defends the classical viewpoints such as the Square of Opposition from modern critics by showing that modern logic is too abstract and lacks intentionality towards real things, with the result for symbolic logic being what Henry B. Veatch called a "logic that can't say what anything is".
Classical logic as presented here is overdue for a comeback in thinking circles.

Paul and His Theology: A Brief Sketch (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, this commentary by Fitzmyer can be hard to read. Stick with it though and it will pay off. His writing style can be dense, as it is crammed with footnotes and is rambling. Once you get used to his style, you notice how great his organization and ideas are. Fitzmyer really puts forth some great insights, and anyone who has read Paul will find themselves nodding their heads as they go through the book. I had to read this for a class on Paul, and I'm glad I did.

A brief study of Paul, his career and his teaching. Formerly entitled PAULINE THEOLOGY, this revision is reconstructed from a judicious use of his uncontested letters and a critical use of data about him in the Acts of the Apostles. It includes select bibliographies of titles in the principal modern languages.
