This work is about philosophy, and what makes a philosophy distinctively Christian in character; arguing that it is indeed possible for philosophy to conceived of as first Christian and not just philosophy done by people that happen to be Christians. To that end, we must deconstruct our discipline, understanding how and why it was previously conceived and then to reconstruct it in a Christian fashion consistent with the Christian worldview. Philosophy to be Christian is argued to be epistemologically self-conscious philosophy, philosophy that is not just internally coherent but philosophy that reflects the mind of the Christian God as the only true account of reality and argued in a manner honouring to the revelation of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. It argues that a classical division of philosophy into metaphysics, epistemology and ethics is valid but only when conceived of in a Christian sense and integrated in the Christian worldview. It argues that competing philosophical and scientific accounts are coherent and successful only to the degree that they have imported consciously or unconsciously, Christian conceptions of the world; thus, rather than refuting the thesis they confirm it. We then apply this insight to what should be the character and practice of a Christian political philosophy.
