Rooted in the biblical call to give a reason for the hope we have (1 Peter 3:15), apologetics draws on Scripture, philosophy, history, and cultural analysis. Resources in this field address challenges such as atheism, secularism, and religious pluralism, while also highlighting the credibility of the Gospel. From the early church fathers to modern thinkers like C.S. Lewis, apologetics has equipped Christians to engage their culture with confidence and grace.

If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration-negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being \"broken\" and unattainable.

Atheist apologists have become increasingly vociferous and confident in their claims: that a morality requiring benevolence towards all and universal human rights need not be grounded in religion; that modern science disproves the existence of God; and that there is nothing innately religious about human beings. In Atheist Overreach, Christian Smith takes a look at the evidence and arguments, and explains why we ought to be skeptical of these atheists' claims about morality, science, and human nature. He does not argue that atheism is necessarily wrong, but rather that its advocates are advancing crucial claims that are neither rationally defensible nor realistic. Their committed worldview feeds unhelpful arguments and contributes to the increasing polarization of today's political landscape.Everyone involved in the theism-atheism debates, in shared moral reflection, and in the public consumption of the findings of science should be committed to careful reasoning and rigorous criticism.

After integrating insights from the literature of both moral apologetics and theistic ethics, they defend theistic ethics against a variety of objections and, in so doing, bolster the case for the moral argument for God's existence. It is the intention of the authors to see this aspect of natural theology resume its rightful place of prominence, by showing how a worldview predicated on the God of both classical theism and historical Christian orthodoxy has more than adequate resources to answer the Euthyphro Dilemma, speak to the problem of evil, illumine natural law, and highlight the moral significance of the incarnation and resurrection of Christ.

This book canvasses a broad array of secular and naturalistic ethical theories in an effort to test their adequacy in accounting for moral duties, intrinsic human value, moral knowledge, prospects for radical moral transformation, and the rationality of morality. In each case, the authors argue, although various secular accounts provide real insights and indeed share common ground with theistic ethics, the resources of classical theism and orthodox Christianity provide the better explanation of the moral realities under consideration. Among such realities is the fundamental insight behind the problem of evil, namely, that the world is not as it should be. Baggett and Walls argue that God and the world, taken together, exhibit superior explanatory scope and power for morality classically construed, without the need to water down the categories of morality, the import of human value, the prescriptive strength of moral obligations, or the deliverances of the logic, language, and phenomenology of moral experience.

But they did not simply treat their devotion to God as a private matter; they maintained a high-profile witness in a pluralistic society highly antagonistic to their faith. That is why their story has such a powerful message for us today. Society tolerates the practice of Christianity in private and in church services, but it increasingly deprecates public witness. If Daniel and his compatriots were with us today, they would be in the vanguard of debate about the role of religion in public life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat was it that gave that ancient foursome, Daniel and his three friends, the strength and conviction to be prepared, often at great risk, to swim against the flow?","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561300984095,"sku":"9780281089222","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780281089222_3D.jpg?v=1769131524"},{"product_id":"against-the-flow-study-guide-discussing-and-applying-the-message-of-daniel-today-638644","title":"Against the Flow -Study Guide: Discussing and Applying the Message of Daniel Today","description":"This comprehensive chapter-by-chapter study guide to Professor John C.

The student had a positive church experience. He was grateful for his youth leader. But he had serious objections to Christianity. Why? He had begun studying the Bible and found he could no longer accept what it taught. Reading the Bible had led him to become an atheist.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIn How Not to Read the Bible, pastor and bestselling author Dan Kimball tackles one of the most pressing apologetic challenges of the twenty-first-century church -- how do we read and interpret the Bible?   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eKimball introduces several critical principles to utilize when you open a Bible or read a verse. Then, he looks at five of the most common challenges that arise when people read the Bible today, including: the relationship between science and the Bible, the violence we find in the Bible, the treatment of women in the Bible, the odd and strange commands we find in the Bible, and the Bible's controversial claim that there is only one way to know God. Kimball highlights several of the most common passages people find objectionable and shows readers how to correctly interpret them.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThis is an ideal book for those exploring Christianity or new to the faith, as well as Christians who are wrestling with questions about these difficult issues and the challenges of interpreting the Bible. Filled with stories and examples, as well as visual illustrations and memes reflecting popular cultural objections, How Not to Read the Bible will motivate readers who are confused or discouraged by questions they have about the Bible and guides them -- step-by-step -- to a clear understanding of what the Bible is saying in context.

Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant---or so Strobel thought. But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God.

With firmly grounded truths, *Why I Still Believe* is an affirming reminder that the hypocrisy of Christians can never negate the transforming grace and truth of Christ.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561878880543,"sku":"9780310353867","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780310353867_1455936.jpg?v=1769141427"},{"product_id":"the-case-for-easter-a-journalist-investigates-evidence-for-the-resurrection-517920","title":"The Case For Easter: A Journalist Investigates Evidence For the Resurrection","description":"Written in Lee Strobel's distinctive journalistic style, The Case for Easter probes the core issues of the resurrection.

Looking at biblical accounts, Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Is there an afterlife?\u003cbr\u003e* What is heaven like?\u003cbr\u003e* How will we spend our time there?\u003cbr\u003e* And what does it mean to see God face to face?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death.

But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What's more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that *don't* happen? If God *can* intervene in the world, why doesn't he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, *The Case for Miracles* shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways.
