The Evangelical Philosophical Society (EPS) is an organization devoted to the study of ethics, theology, and religion from an evangelical perspective. Membership is open to professional scholars and associate membership is available to laypersons and students. Since 2006, Paul Copan has been the president of the organization.[1]
Twice a year, EPS releases their peer-reviewed journal, Philosophia Christi. The journal contains discussions about a variety of topics related to the philosophy of religion and theology from an evangelical perspective. Recent issues have discussed postmodernism, the metaphysics of good and evil, and the nature of selfhood and consciousness. Other recent contributions discuss the idea of intelligent design. A special intelligent design issue, "Philosophical Issues in Intelligent Design," contains original contributions by William Dembski, Jay Richards, Timothy and Lydia McGrew, Robin Collins, Charles Taliaferro, and Alexander Pruss. Craig Hazen is the editor of the journal.[2]
Most issues of Philosophia Christi contain book reviews of interest to evangelical Christians, theologians, and philosophers.[3]
