On Natural and Revealed Theology: Collected Essays of Surrendra Gangadean is a collection of published papers and public lectures presented by Dr. Gangadean and edited into essay form.
The main focus of Dr. Gangadean’s work is the good as the knowledge of God and the goal of the earth being filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. He argues that for this goal to be achieved, there must first be unity in the Church, that the world might believe. But, for unity in the Church, there must be a shared foundation. Dr. Gangadean has paved the way in showing the philosophical, theological, and historical foundations for the Christian Faith with the hope that others, by the grace of God, might build a lasting culture, a City with foundations.

Philosophical Foundation (Spanish Edition)
Fundación Filosófica aboga por la claridad por encima y en contra de la falta de sentido, que está implícita en varias formas de escepticismo y fideísmo. A lo largo del libro, se aplica un análisis crítico a suposiciones no examinadas en las áreas de metafísica y ética para responder a disputas perennes. Las creencias básicas del naturalismo occidental, el idealismo oriental, el dualismo griego, el antirrealismo posmoderno y el teísmo clásico se analizan incisivamente por la razón de su coherencia de significado. Quienes tengan dudas sobre el conocimiento y la certeza, la fe y la razón, la existencia de Dios y el problema del mal, encontrarán una visión crítica a través de este estudio en el uso del pensamiento presuposicional.
El Dr. Surrendra Gangadean fue profesor de filosofía durante cuarenta y cinco años, primero en Phoenix College y luego en Paradise Valley Community College. Tiene una Maestría en Literatura de la Universidad Estatal de Arizona, una Maestría en Filosofía de la Universidad de Arizona y un Ph.D. en Teología Natural del Seminario Teológico Internacional Reformado. Impartió cursos de Filosofía, Estudios Religiosos, Humanidades Interdisciplinarias y Teología.

NEW FROM LOGOS PAPERS PRESS!
The Logos Papers is a collection of work from Dr. Gangadean, reflecting his teaching in philosophy, religion, and the humanities in the academy, in theology at Logos Theological Seminary, and pastoral teaching in the church. In unison with his other publications, it fundamentally calls for a focus on foundation from the Logos. The Logos is the eternal Word of God in its fullness, who makes God fully known. As expressed in the prologue to the gospel of John, the Logos, by whom all things were made, is present in all men as the light of reason, in the creation as general revelation, in history as special revelation/Scripture, and was incarnated in Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth—to restore man to the knowledge of God, which is eternal life. Christ sent the Holy Spirit to lead the Church objectively into all Truth/the Logos in its fullness (through its councils and creeds—Historic Christianity) and to bring unbelievers subjectively into the truth by regeneration and believers to a mature faith by sanctification.
In general, foundation is necessary for maturity, fruitfulness, unity, and fullness in the knowledge of God. Without foundation, there is division and apostasy in the Church, and decay and collapse in the culture. In Scripture, foundation is called for as first principles, for endurance against tempests, for lasting fruit, for unity of the faith and fullness, for a lasting culture in the City of God. Current divisions in the Church and decay in the culture show a longstanding lack of foundation and the need to get to bedrock. Failure to achieve comprehensiveness to attain to fullness of life is not new; it has been recurrent throughout history in the collapse of civilizations. A mere return to the past is insufficient for bedrock. Foundation must get to the certainty of clarity, the cornerstone, from which arises inexcusability. It must overcome skepticism and fideism by faith/understanding. In light of this, The Logos Papers seeks to articulate more clearly the worldview of creation-fall-redemption and its application to culture. It seeks to do so both by establishing the foundation from the Logos in general revelation, Scripture, and Historic Christianity, and by responding to ongoing challenges to the knowledge of God from within and from outside the Church.

In The Westminster Shorter and Larger Catechisms: A Doxological Understanding, Dr. Gangadean provides a critical exposition of the most significant doctrines needed to respond to the challenges of Modernity (1650–1950) and Postmodernity (1950–present). Since the Westminster Assembly (1643–1648), these challenges include: faith vs. reason, otherworldliness vs. this worldliness, the problem of evil, religion in public life, and exclusivism. The doxological understanding of the Catechisms incorporates the following in providing an awaited response: the doctrine of the clarity of general revelation and the inexcusability of unbelief, the use of reason (the light of nature and good and necessary consequences) to understand general and special revelation, the doxological focus on the knowledge of the glory of God, divine sovereignty in creation-fall-redemption, and the law of God for all of life. In understanding the Westminster Standards at the doxological level, the Church can overcome the challenges to the faith in our time and lay a deeper foundation to guard against future challenges.

In History of Philosophy, Dr. Gangadean critically examines what several prominent philosophers have said about what is basic and clear. He considers how and why they differed from others and what influences they had. Among the philosophers examined are the views of the Presocratics, Plato and Aristotle, Nagarjuna and Buddhist philosophy, Augustine (and Augustinians such as John Calvin and Alvin Plantinga), Shankara and Advaita Vedanta philosophy, Ramanuja and Dvaita Vedanta philosophy, Thomas Aquinas, Rationalism (including Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and Gottfried Leibniz), Empiricism (including John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume), Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel, Existentialism (including Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus), Postmodernism, and Critical Theory. The author confines himself to what each says about what is basic – about the possibility of knowledge, what is reason, what is real, and what is the good. In doing so, he hopes to make it clear that disputes arise from unexamined basic beliefs and that, upon examination, the truth about what is basic is clear.

NEW FROM PUBLIC PHILOSOPHY PRESS!
Philosophical Foundation argues for clarity over and against meaninglessness, which is implicit in various forms of skepticism and fideism. Throughout the book, critical analysis is applied to unexamined assumptions in the areas of metaphysics and ethics in order to address long-standing disputes. The basic beliefs of western naturalism, eastern idealism, Greek dualism, post-modern anti-realism, and classical theism are incisively analyzed by reason for their coherence of meaning. Those who have questions about knowledge and certainty, faith and reason, the existence of God and the problem of evil, will find critical insight throughout this study in its use of presuppositional thinking.
This new edition, along with having a beautiful new design and layout, includes an introduction from Dr. Gangadean, two new appendices addressing the Principle of Clarity, application of Common Ground, and responses to critics of Clarity (both the skeptic and the fideist). It also includes updated footnotes and glossary.
