A History of Western Philosophy and Theology is a 912-page hardcover reference and textbook by John M. Frame, published by P&R Publishing in November 2015, that surveys major figures and movements in Western philosophy from a distinctly Reformed, Scripture-anchored perspective. This review is based on the book's content as described by its publisher and published sources, not hands-on use. Praised by theologians including D. A. Carson and J. I. Packer, it is designed as both a comprehensive historical overview and a model for integrating philosophy with Christian theology — an ambitious undertaking that has earned significant acclaim in Reformed academic and pastoral circles, while its unapologetically confessional standpoint will not suit every reader equally.
