Logical reasoning is a skill to develop, one in which each of us can grow. One indication of Christian leadership in thinking well is the frequent use of logic curricula in home-schooling, like this one from Canon Press. Courses like these are too rarely taught in public schools.
Other resources for reasoning well include:
Websites
- Fallacy Detective (for younger people)
- Logic and Fallacies of Logic (fairly extensive treatment for a web resource, PDF)
