Understanding Christian Apologetics: Building a Strong Biblical Case for Christianity Through Scripture, History, and Reason

What if you could understand why Christians believe that God exists, why the Bible deserves serious consideration, why Jesus belongs at the center of history, and why the resurrection remains central to the Christian claim?

Understanding Christian Apologetics is written for Christians who want solid reasons behind their faith.

The book begins with one of the oldest questions in human history:

What is truth?

From there, it builds a connected case for Christianity through Scripture, history, reason, philosophy and evidence.

You will examine the Christian worldview, the origin of the universe, the existence of God, human consciousness, objective morality, the reliability of Scripture, the historical evidence for Jesus, and the case for the resurrection.

You will also face some of the questions that can make even committed Christians uncomfortable.

How should difficult passages in the Bible be understood?

How should Christians respond to alternative worldviews?

What happens when someone presents a serious philosophical objection to Christianity?

Who carries the burden of proof?

How can a Christian identify weak reasoning and logical fallacies?

And how can all of this knowledge become part of a personal framework for defending the faith?

This book does not treat apologetics as a collection of isolated arguments. Its chapters build upon one another, moving from truth and reality toward God, Scripture, Jesus Christ and the resurrection, before turning to objections and practical application.

The research foundation reaches across centuries of Christian and philosophical thought.

Thomas Aquinas and Anselm of Canterbury represent important medieval Christian contributions to arguments concerning God. Aristotle and René Descartes provide major philosophical foundations. Modern Christian apologetics is represented through scholars and writers such as William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, John Frame, Norman Geisler, Alvin Plantinga, James W. Sire, Richard Swinburne and N. T. Wright.

The bibliography includes Craig's Reasonable Faith, Frame's Apologetics to the Glory of God, Geisler's Christian Apologetics, Plantinga's Warranted Christian Belief, Sire's The Universe Next Door, Swinburne's The Existence of God and Wright's The Resurrection of the Son of God.
