Defending Your Faith - An...

R. C. Sproul

Apologetic Primer Explains How Reason Supports Christianity's Claims
From the classroom to mainstream media, Christians regularly find their fundamental beliefs discounted by opponents who consider faith to be incompatible with reason. Faith is viewed as subjective, emotional, and a crutch for those who find the real world too hard. The late R. C. Sproul, however, claims faith reveals just how rational Christianity truly is.

- Comprehensive: Deals with arguments from philosophy, science, reason, logic, and history
- Ideal for New and Seasoned Believers Alike: Helps Christians know what they believe and why they believe it
- Great Resource for Individual, Small Group, or Classroom Study

Confronting Old Testament...

Tremper Longman III

For many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions have tended toward the extremes—ignore problem passages and pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as though they are the only thing that matters. 
 
 
 
Now with clarity of purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture as a whole, Tremper Longman confronts pressing questions of concern to modern audiences, particularly young people in the church: 
 
 
 
● the creation/evolution debate 
 
 
 
● God-ordained violence 
 
 
 
● the historicity of people, places, and events 
 
 
 
● human sexuality 
 
 
 
Pastors, leaders in the church, and thoughtful and troubled Christians in the pews will find here a well-reasoned and faithful approach to dealing with the Old Testament passages so many find challenging or disconcerting.
