Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades there has been a renaissance in the field of Christian philosophy. Unfortunately, most of this excellent work has not reached general readers. Reason for the Hope Within was produced specifically to make available the best of contemporary Christian philosophy in a clear, accessible -- and highly relevant -- manner. Fourteen of America's rising Christian philosophers here cover many of the traditional themes of Christian apologetics (arguments for the existence of God, the problem of evil, the possibility of miracles) as well as topics of special relevance to today's world (Eastern religions, Christianity and science, Christianity and ethics, the existence of heaven and hell).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Reason for the Hope offers essays on Christian apologetics. Apologetics is the reasoned defense of the Christian faith. This book serves as a basic introduction to Christian apologetics and is intended to give readers not only a theologically-grounded approach to defending the faith, but also offers several examples on topics ranging from postmodernism, to the problem of evil, to eastern meditation, to the divine origin of the Bible, and more. Christians are called upon to engage in apologetics in 1 Peter 3:15: "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer [or 'defense, ' Greek apologia] to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect" (NIV). This book is a first step to learning how to do just that. CONTENTS: 1 The Church's Need for Apologetics 2 Postmodern Versus Biblical Truth 3 A Presuppositional Approach to Apologetics 4 How Can We Know the Bible is from God? 5 How Did the Bible Come to Be? 6 Why Does God Allow Death and Suffering? 7 Is Jesus the Only Way? 8 Testing Truth Claims 9 Taoist Versus Biblical Meditation 10 The Real War 11 Why the Cross Changes Everything

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four Views on Christian Metaphysics presents four prominent views held among Christians today on the major questions in philosophical metaphysics. What is the nature of existence itself? What is it for something to exist? What are universals? What is the soul? How do these things relate to God, in light of special and general revelation? The four Christian perspectives presented in this book are: Platonism, Aristotelianism, idealism, and postmodernism. The purpose of this book is to help Christians think deeply and carefully about a Christian view of the ultimate nature of reality and our place in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are hungry for hope. They want to understand our human condition—its origin, nature, purpose, and destiny. The Christian faith offers hope for individuals and the entire universe, grounded in absolute truth. But how can we know that Christianity is true? And how can Christians confidently present their beliefs in the face of doubts and competing views? In this comprehensive text, Douglas Groothuis makes a clear and rigorous case for Christian theism. Demonstrating how apologetics must be both rational and winsome, he addresses the most common questions and objections people raise regarding Christianity. After laying a foundation with the biblical basis for apologetics, apologetic method, and a defense of objective truth, he presents key arguments for the reality of God, a case for the credibility of Jesus, and evidence for the resurrection. Groothuis also evaluates alternative views and responds to challenges such as religious pluralism and the problem of evil. The second edition of this landmark work has been updated throughout to address current issues and sources. It includes new chapters on topics such as doubt and the hiddenness of God, the atonement, the church, and lament as a Christian apologetic. To know God in Christ, Groothuis argues, means that we desire to make Christian truth available to others in the most compelling form possible. Students, ordinary Christians, and seasoned philosophers will all find a wise guide for this endeavor in Christian Apologetics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone believes something. But how and why do people believe? What counts as evidence? How much can be assumed or believed by faith alone? When it comes to religious faith, the questions become at once more difficult and more important. Over the centuries, Christians have offered different approaches to explaining or defending the Christian faith, a discipline known as apologetics. But it has not always been clear how different apologetic methods work, or what each approach has to offer. In this comprehensive survey, Brian Morley provides an overview of Christian apologetic approaches and how they differ. He explores the historical and philosophical underpinnings of key figures and major schools of thought, from the presuppositionalism of Cornelius Van Til to the evidentialism of Gary Habermas. Moving beyond theory, Morley also covers apologetic application, demonstrating how each view works out in practical terms. This guide covers the complexities of apologetics in a way that is accessible to the nonspecialist. Even-handed and respectful of each apologist and their contribution, this book provides the reader with a formidable array of defenses for the faith.
