Faith Has Its Reasons

Ever since the apostle Paul addressed the Stoic and Epicurean philosophers in Athens, relating the Christian worldview to a non-Christian world has been a challenge. And despite Peter's charge to be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15), most Christian laypeople have left apologetics—the defense of the faith—to the ecclesiastical pros. *Faith Has Its Reasons* is a study of four different models of how apologetics should be done, an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, and a proposal for integrating the best insights of each. Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman have assembled a wealth of information about what Christians believe and how to present that faith to an unbelieving world. Remarkable both in its depth of content and ease of accessibility, *Faith Has Its Reasons* gives Christian laypeople the tools to address such critical questions as: * Why is belief in God rational despite the prevalence of evil in the world?
* What facts support the church's testimony that Jesus rose from the dead?
* Can we be certain Christianity is true?
* How can our faith in Christ be based on something more secure than our own understanding without descending into an irrational emotionalism?Read less
