Beyond the Wager

History & Biography

“I have been reading Blaise Pascal's writings as well as other contemporary writers and apologists who have discussed Pascal and his ideas for at least three decades. Beyond the Wager: The Christian Brilliance of Blaise Pascal is one of the finest introductions to this amazing Christian thinker available. Douglas Groothuis's fine book is both substantive and accessible—a must-read for all of us contemporary Pascalians.”

Daniel in Babylon

“Mark Clark’s engaging work on the biblical book of Daniel involves an appealing combination of textual study, leadership and virtue analysis, mixed with some political philosophy. Clark provides an insightful abductive logical case for both the authenticity of Daniel’s life and biblical authorship. This work confirms the Bible’s ability to speak to all generations about critically relevant topics. Highly recommended.”

Introduction To Bibliology

Apologetics

“Many people today earnestly want to grow in their reading, studying, and understanding of the Bible. There is no better place to start one's study of Scripture than with Breshears' helpful book Introduction to Bibliology.”

Joseph Smith’s Tritheism

World Religions

“In his excellent book, Dayton Hartman not only carefully explores the basis for the historic Christian doctrine of the Trinity but he skillfully compares that Nicene orthodoxy with the tragic tritheistic theology of the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith. Hartman provides a thoughtful explanation of the various theological, historical, and cultural influences that shaped Smith's basic beliefs about God. This is an important and valuable theological-apologetics work.”

Neighboring Faiths

World Religions

“Neighboring Faiths is the best Christian introduction to the world's religions available today. And given that the Western world is now a truly global society with all the religions present, it is imperative that Christians have a basic knowledge of the religions of the world. While Winfried Corduan is deeply committed to the unique truth of historic Christianity and evaluates the different religions from a Christian perspective, he nevertheless treats each religion with fairness, respect, and empathy. There is no better book to read and study on this critical topic than Corduan's work. Every school, church, and personal library should have this book.”

True for You, But Not for Me

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“True for You, But Not for Me is an outstanding book that every thinking Christian needs to read and carefully study. Copan’s reasoning is informed by Scripture and his arguments are consistently clear, concise, cogent, and compelling. Yet his style of communicating evinces a winsome and gracious attitude toward those who have questions and objections regarding historic Christianity. This book will ably equip its reader to engage in effective apologetic evangelism to a culture saturated in relativistic and pluralistic thinking. Paul Copan is my kind of Christian thinker.”
