Believing Philosophy

Philosophy

“Believing Philosophy is the antidote for those who think reason and Christian belief are at odds. The book provides a clear, rigorous, and engaging invitation invitation to thinking about God, suffering, objective values, and other critical, challenging topics. Many recent popular books treat religion as a superstitious intellectual wasteland. Christian apologetics books often tell readers what they should believe about topics related to Christianity. Believing Philosophy instead shows readers how to reason carefully and rigorously, and it demonstrates the intellectual integrity of Christian faith. Students, lay Christians, and atheists alike will benefit enormously from the valuable, accessible volume.”

Can a Scientist Believe in Miracles?

Science & Faith

“Ian Hutchinson has been an outspoken advocate for clear and rigorous thinking about issues at the intersection of science and faith. This excellent volume carefully yet approachably explores some of the most perplexing and challenging issues at this interface. Both religious believers and skeptics alike will learn and be challenged by it.”

Christian Faith and the Problem of Evil

Philosophy

“Recent literature on the problem of evil is filled with highly technical discussions that are often utterly inaccessible to all but the most specialized audience. Christian Faith and the Problem of Evil breaks with this trend in two important respects. First, it contains essays written in a style that makes them interesting and accessible to professional and lay readers alike. Second, instead of treating evil from a generically theistic perspective, these provocative essays address evil from a distinctively Christian point of view. Truly a cutting-edge volume.”

Creation and Doxology

Science & Faith

“The topic of creation has been the subject of a great deal of recent scholarship in Christian theology. This excellent, diverse collection of essays brings fresh new light to the topic not only by addressing challenging issues, but by bringing light to important aspects of the discussion that have often been ignored. The volume is refreshingly characterized by intellectual rigor, a passion for orthodoxy, and a deeply pastoral tone.”

In Quest of the Historical Adam

Science & Faith

“There has been a great deal of recent scholarly debate and discussion concerning the historicity of Adam and Eve. However, few treatments of the subject are able to bring together biblical, theological, philosophical, and scientific perspectives simultaneously. In this volume, Dr. Craig does just that—weaving these threads together in ways that respect orthodox Christian doctrine and incorporate our best current understanding of the origins of our species. All Christian scholars wrestling with this topic will benefit from Craig’s deep and learned treatment.”

Introducing Apologetics

Apologetics

“Introducing Apologetics finds the balance that apologetics books typically lack: it has sweeping breadth without being simplistic, it draws deeply on recent scholarship while remaining completely accessible, and it plumbs theoretical depths while offering practical, relevant wisdom. The result is a book wonderfully suited for the classroom and the nonacademic Christian reader alike.”

Rational Faith

Apologetics

“With characteristic clarity, rigor, and accessibility, Stephen Davis presents a compelling defense of the Christian faith. While taking a fresh look at traditional arguments, Rational Faith also addresses cutting-edge topics in apologetics such as the implications of evolutionary and psychological accounts of the origin of religious belief. This is a valuable resource for Christian believers and skeptics alike.”

Thomism and the Problem of Animal Suffering

Apologetics

“The last decade has seen an extensive and robust discussion of the problem of evil as it relates to animal suffering. This volume provides a rigorous and thorough Thomistic response to the topic. Keltz’s treatment is philosophically rich and scientifically grounded. Future treatments of the matter will need to engage the arguments in this volume.”
