I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist |
Faith is a necessary element of all worldviews, and, as atheism is
definitely a worldview, it necessarily requires faith to be an
atheist. Oddly enough, the atheist belief system requires more assent
to seemingly unbelievable tenets than Christianity does. Arguing that
Christianity contains the least amount of essential but incredible
features, Geisler shows interested readers how few things Christians
actually need to take "on faith" compared to other religions and
beliefs. Geisler writes with clarity, wit and wisdom to bridge the
imaginary hurdle of the impossibility of Christian belief. |

The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict
|
[This book by Josh McDowell is] one of the best Christian apologetic
references available. ... Jam-packed with information, this book looks
at why the Bible can be trusted, including its historical reliability
and accuracy. McDowell explains who Jesus is, and why the New
Testament record of his personality and ministry is the best and most
authentic source available. He also explains how several worldviews
have attempted to discredit Christianity, particularly through the
methods of biblical, form, and textual criticism. McDowell also
examines several philosophical systems, including skepticism,
agnosticism, and mysticism, and offers a cogent defense of the idea
and reality of miracles. |
