Christian Philosophy and related

Top Christian Philosophy Texts
Ronald H Nash: Life's ultimate questions: An Introduction to Philosophy.
J.P. Moreland and Bill Craig: Philosophical Foundations for a Christian worldview.

Strongest recommendation on both the above


In review now ... (via Google book preview)
Steven Cowan, James S. Spiegel, James Spiegel: The Love of Wisdom: A Christian Introduction to Philosophy.

Added to personal library based on google preview... waiting to receive.
Really like some of the diagrams a whole bunch. Not highly technical, but for
that level see Nash or Craig.

Selected Readings
Steven M. Cahn: Classics of Western Philosophy (Primary source readings)
A nice sample of reading in Western (not particularly Christian) philosophy.

Introductory and Popular Level
Donald Palmer: Does The Center Hold?: An Introduction to Western Philosophy (2010 ed).
-- Disclaimer: I have heard this an easy read, but I have read it yet.
