Coppenger's book brims with inviting 'hooks' that draw students in to thinking about philosophical questions. Though the book is full of humor it provides a pathway into serious thinking for students. --C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University Coppenger . . . leads with fascinating real-world cases and maps, and draws the philosophical implications and applications out in intriguing, helpful, and memorable ways. This is a great resource for learning--or re-learning--Christian philosophy. --Jacob Shatzer, Union University Coppenger's Cases and Maps is a delightful journey into the pursuit of wisdom. With his trademark biting wit, Coppenger tackles philosophical issues both broad (Kant's epistemology) and narrow (abortion). . . . Using the lenses of legal cases and cartography to explore the big questions of life is simultaneously brilliant, whimsical, and successful. --Tawa J. Anderson, Oklahoma Baptist University Mark Coppenger has a creative mind like few others. He takes compelling real life scenarios and forces us to see that sloppy thinking won't cut it in the actual world. . . . Highly recommended! --Ted Cabal, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary An enticing philosophical buffet, Cases and Maps creatively draws on a broad range of legal decisions to illustrate how ordinary legal battles are quite often about big ideas and profound ethical dilemmas. --Michael Poore, Director, The Humanitas Forum on Christianity & Culture
