Download or read book Faith with Reason written by Joseph R. Farinaccio and published by Bookspecs Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Is Christianity Really True?" Every religion has its own set of truth-claims. What makes Christianity so different? FAITH WITH REASON is an introduction to the Christian worldview. It explains how the Christian view of reality contrasts with some of the more popular religious notions in our culture today. Topics include: -- Why all religious beliefs are not equal (and how to identify false philosophical notions and inaccurate religious ideas) -- The real relationship between faith and reason (you've probably never heard this before even though St. Augstine taught this historic, scriptural view) -- How we can know the Bible is actually God's Word (with an approach of 100% absolute certainty) -- Why evolution is religion in disguise (and how materialism is an ultimate faith-view) -- How logic opposes non-Christian religions (based upon their own teachings) -- Why the "problem of evil" actually reflects the existence of an all powerful, loving God (hint: evil is a profound psychological problem, but not a logical one when it comes to biblical faith in God) It's been said that, "Everyone does philosophy, but not everyone does it well." This book serves as a basic primer for believers and non-believers alike to better understand why Christianity offers a faith and philosophy of life unlike any other. "This material should challenge the thinking Christian to examine his or her worldview via a decisively Biblical bent. Written in a very readable style, Joe has captured many of the key apologetic principles of the faith. This work should enhance the walk of every believer who is committed to a diet of the meat of the Word." - Dr. Charles Betters Senior Minister - Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church Joseph Farinaccio (B.A. History) is a Christian writer and public speaker from New Jersey. His previous writings include published articles on theology, history, and politics from a Christian perspective. Further information can be found at: http: //www.FaithWithReason.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate goal of this work is to advance Christian unity.

But they will stand together on certain key doctrines and beliefs that are nonnegotiable. This book highlights those core Christian teachings that demand assent in order for someone to be called a true follower of Christ.

Download or read book The Shortest Leap written by A. L. van den Herik and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All worldviews require a leap of faith, but not all leaps of faith are the same. A "one-stop shop" for the rational evidence for Christianity. The Shortest Leap presents the scientific, historical, biblical, and explanatory underpinnings of the Christian faith, demonstrating that faith in Jesus requires the shortest leap. In addition to providing proactive evidence for Christianity, The Shortest Leap responds to the numerous shots fired at biblical Christianity by atheists, critics of Christianity, and other skeptics. The Shortest Leap answers a wide range of difficult questions, including: * Is the Bible consistent with the findings of cutting edge, secular science? * Was there really a man named Jesus, or is he just a myth? * And even if he did exist, aren't the events of Jesus' life and his teachings as described in the New Testament merely fabrications of the earliest Christians? * Does the historical evidence support the claim that Jesus rose from the dead? * To understand who Jesus really was, why shouldn't we consider other documents outside the Bible, such as the Gnostic gospels? * Why were some documents excluded from the New Testament? * Did Jesus really claim to be God, or did the earliest Christians just want to believe that? * Is the Old Testament still relevant? Does it really point to Jesus hundreds to thousands of years before he lived? * How does the salvation by grace of Christianity differ from the salvation by works of all other religions? * Why can't I just believe in the Jesus that I like the best? * How can I be sure I have eternal life? No other apologetics book on the market answers such a wide range of questions. Whether you are a non-Christian exploring the reasons people believe Jesus is God, or you are a Christian wanting to grow deeper in your faith or share your faith with the others, The Shortest Leap is the perfect book for you. Combining the best of dozens of books under one cover, The Shortest Leap presents a concise and convincing summary of the main arguments supporting the truth of biblical Christianity.
Download or read book The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith written by R. A. Torrey and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-16 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something that must be established at this point, something vital. In the writing of and in the reading of a work such as this, you, the reader, and R. A. Torrey, the writer, bring certain convictions to the reading. On some points, convictions may be compatible. On other points, convictions may differ. On still other points, convictions may clash. This is the common experience of all people of faith. It seems that we can agree on many things but not all things. Because this is so there is something that must be interjected at this point, some fundamental convictions that the author embraces and brings to this work: First, the Bible is Truth, God's Truth. It is Truth without any mixture of error. The Bible, and the Bible alone, is the standard of measure for all things pertaining to faith and practice - life and righteousness. People of biblical faith will embrace this fundamental conviction and be nurtured and challenged by what Torrey has written. People of unbelief will be challenged too - as they explore and examine their unbelief. Second, people of biblical faith have convictions built upon the Truth of God's Word. Hear me. He who writes what you are reading knows what he is talking about: God's Truth is greater than our convictions. Convictions grip us. They give us spiritual backbone. They help us to stand in the midst of swirling theological controversy, troubling trials and adversity. Nevertheless, even though we value our convictions and, indeed, even though our convictions are valuable, God's Word, God's Truth, is greater than our convictions. Our convictions are subservient, always subservient, to the Truth of God's Word; not the other way around. The Truth - God's Word -- is the standard of measure - not our convictions. May you discern the difference and be transformed by the renewing of your mind as you put on the mind of Christ. Third, proceeding from convictions are principles. Convictions grip us. Principles guide us. Principles add flavor, shape and color to our convictions and their expression in life. Fourth, flowing out of our principles are predilections and preferences, options and opinions - and from all of these -- choices -- and, that is where the rubber meets the road: we make choices and choices have consequences. And, it is here, in the consequences, that our destinies are shaped and our testimonies are shared. Review by Dr. John Dee Jeffries; CEO / Acquisitions Editor / Published By Parables
