Download or read book 52 Apologetics written by Michael D. Finney and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Bible God’s Word? Yes. Is Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, and the only Mediator between a sinful people and a perfect, holy, and righteous God? Yes! Is the Christian faith supported by reasonable, provable, historical, archaeological, and philosophical evidence? Yes, yes, and yes! The word apologetics comes from two Greek words, apo (out from) and logos (logic), and it literally means to give out a logical defense (apologia). In Christianity, it means to give out logical reasons for our faith, to defend the truth of Scripture, and to give reasons for believing in Christ. Like Paul, I am “set for the defense (apologia) of the gospel” (Philippians 1:17). Like Peter, I am “ready always to give an answer (apologia)” to everyone who asks why I trust Christ (1 Peter 3:15). Like Jude, I am prepared to earnestly contend (epi-agnízomai: agonize, fight) for the faith (Jude 3). I have written this book to defend and contend for the Christian faith; I want to let others know why I believe the Bible is God’s Word and Jesus is God’s Son (2 Timothy 3:16; John 1:34).

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Download or read book Christian Apologetics Past and Present Volume 1 To 1500 written by William Edgar and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented anthology of apologetics texts with selections from the first century AD through the Middle Ages. Includes introductory material, timelines, maps, footnotes, and discussion questions. The apostle Peter tells us always to be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks us to account for our hope as Christians (1 Peter 3:15). While the gospel message remains the same, such arguments will look different from one age to another. In the midst of a recent revival in the field of apologetics, few things could be more useful than an acquaintance with some of these arguments for the Christian belief through the ages. This first of two proposed volumes features primary source documents from the time of the early church (100-400) and the Middle Ages (400-1500). Featured apologists include Aristides, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm, and Thomas Aquinas. The authors provide a preface to each major historical section, with a timeline and a map, then an introduction to each apologist. Each primary source text is followed by questions for reflection or discussion purposes.

This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume makes an important contribution to the ongoing research on hope theory by combining insights from both its long history and its increasing multi-disciplinarity. In the first part, it recognizes the importance of the centuries-old reflection on hope by offering historical perspectives and tracing it back to ancient Greek philosophy. At the same time, it provides novel perspectives on often-overlooked historical theories and developments and challenges established views. The second part of the volume documents the state of the art of current research in hope across eight disciplines, which are philosophy, theology, psychology, economy, sociology, health studies, ecology, and development studies. Taken together, this volume provides an integrated view on hope as a multi-faced phenomenon. It contributes to the further understanding of hope as an essential human capacity, with the possibility of transforming our human societies.
