    InterVarsity Press Publication

    The concept of absolute truth has eroded over time. Groothuis demonstrates that the basic tenets of postmodernism are intellectually flawed and hostile to Christian views. In this biblical and logical presentation, he unveils how truth has come under attack and how it can be defended in the areas of theology, apologetics, ethics, and the arts.

  • Biblical Creationism : What Each Book Of The Bible Teaches About Creation

    Original price was: $14.99.Current price is: $12.99.

    Does it matter whether Christians believe in a literal 7-day creation? Morris, father of the modern creationism movement, believes it does—in fact, he considers this doctrine to be central to our faith. To prove his point, he illustrates that creation is mentioned in every book of the Bible—from Genesis to Job to Revelation.

  • Answering Jewish Objections To Jesus 1 (Reprinted)

    Original price was: $24.00.Current price is: $23.00.

    1. General Objections
    2. Historical Objections

    Additional Info
    What kind of answers hold fast in Jewish Christian apologetics? Answers that are fair. Answers that are detailed. And above all, answers that respond to actual objections. In the first of three volumes of Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Michael Brown provides defensible answers. He addresses the same arguments that arise in his dialogue and debate with friends, rabbis, and anti-missionaries. Some objections include:
    – I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew.
    – I won’t betray my ancestors.
    – If Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, why isn’t there peace on earth?
    – Christians have always hated and persecuted the Jewish people!

    Brown knows all about such objections. At age sixteen, he discovered Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, and it changed his life. Called to defend his new faith, Brown went on to master Hebrew, earning his Ph.D. in Semitic languages. In the past decades he has established himself as a leading Jewish Christian apologist.

    Brown brings together his learning and his love for his people to answer thirty-five commonly heard objections. He provides believers and seekers alike with honest, spiritually focused answers, thoroughly documented with notes.

  • Nothing But The Truth

    Original price was: $19.99.Current price is: $12.50.

    Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence. -1 Peter 3:15

    Scripture is clear about the fact that we must be prepared to communicate the truth of the Gospel when given the opportunity-and do it with the right attitude. But even when your tone is gentle and respectful, what, specifically, should you say when asked or confronted about your faith? And what is your overall responsibility to unbelievers as a disciple of Christ?

    Pastor John MacArthur responds to these very questions and more-with solid, biblical answers focused in four particular areas:

    * your attitude

    * your preparedness

    * the content of your answers

    * your priority in witnessing

    Combining a biblical study of evangelism, a rational defense of Christian beliefs, and a practical approach to evangelism, this book offers a well-rounded perspective that can help you gently and confidently give an answer for the hope you have in Christ.

    C. S. Lewis once wrote: To be ignorant and simple now-not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground-would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.

    SCALING THE SECULAR CITY is not just another apologetics book. This is a fresh, up-to-date defense of the Christian faith by a bright mind. J. P. Moreland musters new arguments, tackles new problems, and reveals penetrating insight as he gives reasons for the historic Christian faith. His rich background in philosophy, science, and theology is manifest in the helpful way he operates on the borders of these disciplines. His insights into the contemporary philosophical issues make him one of the ablest young apologists in America. This book not only will help the average Christian, but also will challenge the best scholars. It is another good example of the renaissance of classical apologetics in a day that refuses to either capitulate to the philosophical skeptics or give a reason for our hope.

    With all of the complicated scientific debate swirling around the topic of evolution, is there an easy way to understand the basic issues without oversimplifying? Phillip Johnson says there is: the key to defeating the false claims of Darwinism is to open our minds to good thinking habits. Here is first-rate advice on avoiding common mistakes in discussions about evolution, understanding the legacy of the Scopes trial, spotting deceptive arguments, and grasping the basic scientific issues without getting bogged down in unnecessary details. In the bestselling and critically acclaimed Darwin on Trial and Reason in the Balance, Phillip Johnson exposed the misleading claims of evolutionary naturalism. Defeating Darwinism provides a new and powerful treatment of these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors, youth advisors and ordinary readers. Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it the right way-by opening minds to the truth.

  • Holy Spirit : Contours Of Christian Theology

    Original price was: $30.00.Current price is: $20.70.

    The Holy Spirit, once forgotten, has been rediscovered in the twentieth century – or has he? Sinclair Ferguson believes we should rephrase this common assertion: While his work has been recognized, the Spirit himself remains to many Christians an anonymous, faceless aspect of the divine being. In order to redress this balance, Ferguson seeks to recover the who of the Spirit as much as the what and how. Ferguson’s study is rooted and driven by the scriptural story of the Spirit in creation and redemption.

    Intellectuals Don’t Need God is for people who are not convinced by the arguments of classical, rationalistic apologetics, for people who feel that Christianity must have a broader appeal that to reason alone if it is to be persuasive to non-Christians. Alister McGrath shows convincingly that reason is only one of many possible points of contact between the non-Christian and the gospel. In today’s world, nonrational concerns — such as a sense that life lacks focus, an unconscious fear of death, a deep sense of longing for something unknown we don’t have but know we need — are much more effective points of contact for apologetics. In this book, Dr. McGrath (who is both a theologian and a scientist with a Ph.D. in microbiology) combines the clarity of a brilliant scientific mind with a deep commitment to Christ and to reaching non-Christians. Intellectuals Don’t Need God is for anyone who has questions about the validity of Christianity as well as for students, pastors, and lay leaders. Anyone who works with students and young people especially needs to read this book. As McGrath says, apologetics is not about winning arguments — it is about bringing people to Christ.

    This world is a battlefield in the arena of ideas. The prize is the heart and mind of humankind. In this book, Ronald Nash outlines the Christian way of looking at God, self, and the world. He holds that worldview up against the tests of reason, logic, and experience, particularly discussing the problems of evil and the alleged nonsense of the historic Christian doctrines and of Jesus’ incarnation and resurrection. He finds the Christian worldview sound and urges Christians to equip themselves intellectually to defend the faith on that battlefield. He particularly hits the attractions to our generation of naturalism and the New Age movement, pointing out their weaknesses and pitfalls as well as those of older worldviews. Christian theism, he writes, is a system that commends itself to the whole person; but he stresses that a great difference exists between belief that and belief in.
