Book excerpt: This book argues that it is possible for our study of the natural world to enhance our understanding of God and for our faith to inform and influence our study and application of science. Whether you are a student, someone employed in the sciences, or simply an interested layperson, Not Just Science will help you develop the crucial skills of critical thinking and reflection about key questions in Christian faith and natural science.The contributors provide a systematic approach to both raising and answering the key questions that emerge at the intersection of faith and various disciplines in the natural sciences. Among the questions addressed are the context, limits, benefits, and practice of science in light of Christian values. Questions of ethics as they relate to various applied sciences are also discussed. The end goal is an informed biblical worldview on both nature and our role in obeying God’s mandate to care for his creation.With an honest approach to critical questions, Not Just Science fills a gap in the discussion about the relationship between faith and reason. This is a most welcomed addition to these significant scholarly conversations. Ron Mahurin, PhD Vice President, Professional Development and Research Council for Christian Colleges & Universities
Download or read book Answering the Hard Questions written by Robert R. Hill and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No question should be off limits if it is asked with the intent of seeking truth. But many Christians do not know how to answer some of the hard questions about the Bible and the Christian faith. Could you answer these questions? What would you do if you were asked one of these questions from an unsaved friend? What would you do if your children asked you one of these questions? 1. If God is real, then why doesn't he show himself? 2. If God is real, then why does he allow suffering and evil to continue? 3. How can God be real when secular science shows that everything has an explanation without God? 4. If God is a merciful, kind, and forgiving God, then why did he order the slaughter of whole people groups including men, women, children, and their animals too? 5. Why would a loving God send anyone to an eternal hell? 6. How can God be real since the Bible says God is love but commands the barbaric death of innocent animals in the Old Testament and Jesus says to eat his body and drink his blood? And there are other weird things in the Bible too. 7. How can God be real since we don't see a difference between people who call themselves Christians and the rest of the world? This series is designed to equip Christians to answer these types of hard questions in defending the Bible and the Christian faith. We must be able to respond to these types of questions or else we will not be confident in our faith, and therefore we will be weak in witnessing. I want you to be able to answer these questions quickly and confidently to be an effective and passionate ambassador for Christ.

Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time.

But what happens when someone thinks he or she is a Christian, but isn't? With his witty, engaging style, Mike McKinley takes readers on a journey of what it means to be a Christian. He asserts that "manipulative evangelism techniques and a poor understanding of the gospel have resulted in an abundance of professing Christians who have no idea what it means to follow Christ." Each chapter title begins with "You're not a Christian [if/when/just because you]..." As he surveys what it means to be Christian, McKinley offers criteria for evaluating one's standing before God. Readers are guided through a series of challenges to reflect, repent, remember, and report to another person. Am I Really a Christian? ends with chapters on salvation and the local church. This unique book is written for nominal or new Christians and can be used in personal or small-group study.

Download or read book Confronting Christianity written by Rebecca McLaughlin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many people suggest that Christianity is declining, research indicates that it continues to be the world's most popular worldview. But even so, the Christian faith includes many controversial beliefs that non-Christians find hard to accept. This book explores 12 issues that might cause someone to dismiss orthodox Christianity—issues such as the existence of suffering, the Bible's teaching on gender and sexuality, the reality of heaven and hell, the authority of the Bible, and more. Showing how the best research from sociology, science, and psychology doesn't disagree with but actually aligns with claims found in the Bible, these chapters help skeptics understand why these issues are signposts, rather than roadblocks, to faith in Christ.
