The Relationship Between Theology and Philosophy: Any Good Books?

As stated in an earlier post, I am currently reading K. Scott Oliphant’s book Reasons {for Faith}.  Based on a preliminary scan of the book, I thought Oliphant was going to deal with what the relationship of philosophy is to theology: what the essence of the relationship is, how it is played out, etc.  Unfortunately, [...]
