Reddit mentions of Philosophy for AS and A Level

I've been a Christian for about a year and my weird personality defects and radical scepticism have left me with an obsession to uncover the truth of things. I am writing this as someone who believes in a Classical approach to apologetics but is sympathetic to the pre-suppostional. I have no formal education in philosophy or theology. I work full time and am doing a part time degree in software engineering - all study is done in personal time.

• My first recommendation would be to get into a daily Bible reading routine - at least go cover to cover once!
  
• Secondly get a good grounding in theology from a book like "Know the truth"by Bruce Milne.
  
  From there, theologically, one might want to consider slowly reading through other systematic books each year:
  
  
• Grudems Systematic Theology;
  
• Geislers Systematic Theology;
  
• Berkhofs Systematic theology.
  
  this will ensure a good doctrinal grounding - In terms of apologetics I would first approach the subject at the popular level :
  
  
• Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis;
  
• Making Sense of God by Tim Keller;
  
• The Reasons For God Tim Keller;
  
• Five Views on Apologetics (Zondervan publishing).
  
  I would recommend the following for dealing with popular Biblical complaints :
  
  
• The Big book of Bible Difficulties (Geisler);
  
• Is God a moral monster (Copan);
  
• Evidence that demands a verdict.
  
  For an introduction to philosophy I recommend:
  
  
• Philosophy for AS/A2 ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philosophy-AS-Level-Michael-Lacewing/dp/1138690392/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=philosophy+for+AS&qid=1567673712&s=gateway&sr=8-2 )
  
• Philosophy for A2 ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philosophy-Level-Michael-Lacewing/dp/1138690406/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=philosophy+for+A2&qid=1567673723&s=gateway&sr=8-14 )
  
• On Guard
  
  For more advanced Philosophy:
  
  
• Philosophical foundations of a Christian Worldview;
  
• The Blackwell companion to natural theology;
  
• Natural Theology (Paley);
  
• Evidences for the Christian faith (Paley);
  
• Knowledge and Christian Belief (Plantinga);
  
• An Introduction to Metaethics (Andrew Fisher);
  
• What is this thing called knowledge (Routledge);
  
• What is this thing called Metaphysics (Routledge).
  
  For defence of core Christian tenets:
  
  
• Institutes of the Christian Religion (John Calvin)
  
• Jesus as God (The use of the word Theos in the new Testament)
  
  Science and Religion:
  
  
• Theistic Evolution
  
• Mind and Cosmos (nagel)
  
  Theres so much more I could recommend but I feel like thats a good start to get underway.On YouTube I recommend ReasonableFaith (they have playlists of their defenders class for multiple topics), InspiringPhilosophy and Capturing Christianity.
  
  There's a guy called Bruce Gore on YouTube who has a playlist called something like "Philosophy of Christian thought" - this is aimed at a group of 18 year olds he taught and is very accessible and a great introduction to the history of Christian philosophy.
  
  Gordon Conwell Theological seminary have a free online course called "Dimensions of the Faith" with hundreds of hours of audio lectures from a Masters course in theology - worth taking a look at!
  
  It's important to stay close to God whilst studying, cleave to His word and pray diligently.
  
  If you figure out a way to go to university and study this stuff let me know as I can't afford it!
  
  EDIT: I forgot to say I also highly recommend reading conversion testimonies:
  
  
• Confessions (Augustin)
  
• Real Lives
  
• Far from Rome, Near to God
  
• A man in Christ (Hudson Taylor)
  
  Additionally don't get discouraged by other peoples education, to quote John Locke:
  
  >"The Commonwealth of Learning is not at this time without Master-Builders, whose mighty Designs, in advancing the Sciences, will leave lasting Monuments to the Admiration of Posterity; But every one must not hope to be a Boyle, or a Sydenham; and in an Age that produces such Masters, as the Great-Huygenius, and the incomparable Mr. Newton, with some other of that Strain; ’tis Ambition enough to be employed as an Under-Labourer in clearing Ground a little, and removing some of the Rubbish, that lies in the way to Knowledge."
  
  Craig, Plantinga et al are old and Christianity needs a new generation to take hold of the mantle!
