I’d love to try to work through it. Not sure the best way. We could agree on a regular reading schedule with discussion sandwiched in between. For example, set a date by which time Chapter One has to be read. Then we jump online and discuss it until we feel like we’re done. Then we set a date for having Chapter Two read and discuss it until we feel like we’re done. And so forth.

We could begin discussion of each chapter by having somebody prepare a summary and then open it up for comments and discussion. We could take turns posting those summaries.

Here’s a brief boiled down outline:

Introduction

Part One: Six Foundational A Priori Truths of CH’S System

Chapter I: The First Four A Priori Truths

Chapter II: The Fifth and Sixth A Priori Truths

Chapter III: A Critical Evaluation of the Six Foundational A Priori Truths of CH’S System

Summary of Part One

Part Two: Six Theistic Arguments of CH’S System

Chapter IV: The Ontological and Cosmological Arguments (the Logic of Perfection and Di-Polar Theism)

Summary of IV

Chapter V: The Design and Epistemic Arguments (the Omnipotence and Omniscience of God)

Summary of V

Chapter VI: The Moral and Aesthetic Arguments (The Goodness and Beauty of God)

Conclusion

The six theistic arguments of Part Two correspond to the six a priori truths of Part One. He presents CH’s position (di-polar theism) and critically evaluates it as he goes, correcting and reconstructing along the way. It lays out nicely.

You’ve got six chapters. And each chapter divides up into sections: Ch. 1 with five, Ch. 2 with three, Ch. 3 with seven, Ch. 4 with five, Ch. 5 with eight, Ch. 6 with eight. What we should probably do is agree upon thread headings that correspond to Chapter and section headings. Some sections don’t take up much room and others are pretty substantial. We could bite off as much as we want to work on. What we’d like to end up with is a list of threads whose titles correspond to the outline so that we’ve got something nice.

If you want, I’ll draw up a few examples and if it’s OK, we’ll start. It might move slowly between now and June. But we can pig out on it in the summer!

Tom

No way, Tom. You don't have time for that. Heck, I'll pay $60 if I need to. After, you say it's the WORD OF GOD! So it must be worth $60!

Ya'll go ahead and start your discussion. If by the end of this week I don't see a better deal, I'll just bite the bullet. Who knows maybe God will get the cheaper ones to those who can't afford the more expensive ones--it's all good.
