From an interview with Christian philosopher Matt Bonzo in Comment:

To begin, philosophy is not a substitute for faith. Christian faith recognizes the limits of thought and, in a way, opens us to the mystery of God’s relationship with creation. Overspecialization in any academic discipline is often driven by the expectation that the whole of creation can be completely comprehended through a part. This move blinds us to the interconnections of creation and to creation’s connection with God. In faith, we see creation as creation, and are reminded that something bigger is going on than conceptualization about the world.
