Book Description
Street-Level Apologetics: Where the Reason Meets the Road While the other titles in this series have been interactions with the best-selling published works of internationally renowned atheists, this fourth volume brings things down to a local scale. For several months in 2003-4, Douglas Wilson was involved in an ongoing debate on a Moscow, Idaho, listserv about various matters of concern to secularists. His contributions to the conversation (lightly edited) are collected in this book. Though the names of his opponents aren't as big (and have, in fact, been changed for this publication), Wilson's humor and sharp-mindedness are as bold and boisterous as ever, as is his concern for the souls of those who reject Christ. With a pastor's care for lost sheep, he calls them all to reason and to repentance. Douglas Wilson has been the pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, for over forty years. He and His wife, Nancy, have three children and seventeen grandchildren. Doug is the author of scores of books, including God Is. How Christianity Explains Everything. You can read his blog at dougwils.com, follow him on Twitter at @douglaswils, and watch him as the host of Man Rampant.

Apologetics in the New Age
Author: David K. Clark
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1592447333
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
Many books have successfully defended Christianity against Western rational skepticism. 'Apologetics in the New Age' represents the first serious attempt by evangelical philosophers to answer Eastern pantheism in general and the New Age movement in particular. Teaming up with David Clark, Norman Geisler, one of evangelicalism's leading apologists, probes the pantheistic worldview and its relationship to the New Age movement. Pantheism, the authors write, constitutes the soil in which the movement grows. The notion that every person participates in the divine has found fertile expression in contemporary American culture. The American consciousness of the Eastern alternative has risen rapidly in the last few decades, the authors remind us. Christian apologists have been caught unaware.... For this reason, we believe that Christian apologists must turn their attention in a new direction by developing new arguments for this New Age.

Without Form and Void
Author: Arthur C Custance
Publisher: Classic Reprint Press
ISBN: 9781934251331
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Considered a classic in Christian apologetics, this scholarly analysis of the Biblical phrase "without form and void," from the opening chapter of Genesis, observes the rules of linguistics, of grammar and syntax, and also examines how words are used in the rest of Scripture. This book has been described as the best argument that has ever been written for the Gap Theory. A well respected Canadian scientist himself, and listed in the 1971 American Men in Science, Dr. Custance contends that we should not allow science to determine what Scripture says. Neither should we allow Scripture to determine what the scientist observes in the laboratory. Yet observed fact in the one cannot, ultimately, conflict with revealed fact in the other. Any conflict, then, is in the interpretation of the facts - not in the facts themselves.

Apologetics for the Twenty-First Century
Author: Louis Markos
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433524651
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The vibrant and persuasive arguments of C. S. Lewis brought about a shift in the discipline of apologetics, moving the conversation from the ivory tower to the public square. The resulting strain of popular apologetics—which weaves through Lewis into twentieth-century writers like Francis Schaeffer and modern apologists like William Lane Craig, Josh McDowell, and Lee Strobel—has equipped countless believers to defend their faith against its detractors. Apologetics for the Twenty-first Century uses Lewis's work as the starting point for an absorbing survey of the key apologists and major arguments that inform apologetics today. Like apologists before him, Markos writes to engage Christians of all denominations as well as seekers and skeptics. His narrative, "man of letters" style and short chapters make Apologetics for the Twenty-first Century easily accessible for the general reader. But an extensive and heavily annotated bibliography, detailed timeline, list of prominent apologists, and glossary of common terms will satisfy the curiosity of the seasoned academic, as the book prepares all readers to meet the particular challenges of defending the faith today.

Turning the Tables on Apologetics
Author: Jeffery L. Hamm
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532645244
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Does apologetic method matter? Helmut Thielicke argues that the method should conform to its own message. He thus rejects traditional apologetic methodologies beholden to supposedly neutral scientific and philosophical paradigms. Seeking to reform Christian conversation, Thielicke discovers a lost way of persuasion, that is, the table-turning approach found in Christ's conversations. Whenever Jesus is questioned, he seldom answers directly. For he refuses to allow the conversation to be framed by an autonomous mindset, and instead responds with a counterquestion. Christ's style of persuasion--as the controller of the question--subverts his hearers' presuppositions and challenges their unbelief. This approach is the reverse of the defensive, answer-giving mode of traditional apologetics. In view of renewing Christ's method, Thielicke insists that the task of apologetics is "something which is always on the offensive and, far from giving ready-made answers to the doubtful questions of men, turns the tables by putting questions on its own account--aggressive, violent, radical questions--and striking straight to the hearts of men." Christian conversation must integrate Christ's method with his message in order to advocate the message itself. For it is not the world that questions Christ, but rather Christ questions the world.
