Paul Copan

Seven Days that Divide the World, 10th Anniversary Edition

Science & Faith

“what I’ve been looking to recommend! Its treatment of Genesis 1 and 2 in connection with modern science and ancient Near Eastern culture is accessible, wide-ranging, balanced, and irenic. Lennox has written a wise, well-informed work, and it deserves the widest readership possible.”

Slipping Through the Cracks

Apologetics

“I am grateful for Breitenbach’s carefully reasoned analysis of Molinism, the unevangelized, and ‘the problem of the contingently lost.’ He presents important clarifications and arguments worthy of further engagement. Slipping Through the Cracks provides a model that is not only faithful to Scripture and rationally coherent but also stands out as a valuable contribution to the literature on an important perennial topic.”

Stand Your Ground

Apologetics

“Dean Hardy is to be commended for writing a very accessible book that covers a remarkably wide range of material on apologetics. I applaud his emphasis on a personalized, holistic approach to defending the faith, which is greatly needed.”

Tactics, 10th Anniversary Edition

Apologetics

“Between Two Worlds” blog; Editor, Suffering and the Sovereignty of God and The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World Greg Koukl is a wise, seasoned, front-lines apologist. I am happy to recommend a book so full of practical insights and careful guidance for skillfully, winsomely defending the Christian faith.”

Taking Persons Seriously

Philosophy

“At nearly every level of our culture—intellectual, social, technological, medical, philosophical, ethical, legal—we have been witnessing a steady erosion of a robust understanding of human personhood. So I am heartened by the appearance of Taking Persons Seriously. It offers a powerful, rich, and cutting-edge cross-disciplinary defense of robust personhood, extending from the womb to personhood at the end of life. I highly recommend this excellent and important volume.”

The Apologetics of Joy

Apologetics

“Puckett's book is a rich, multifaceted exploration of the argument from desire. . . . It calls us to a recovery of joy, awe, mystery, and miracle, which ultimately directs us toward God--the true object of our deepest human longings.”

The Case for Life

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Scott Klusendorf’s accessible, winsomely written book presents a well-reasoned, comprehensive case for intrinsic human dignity and worth. Klusendorf not only equips the reader with incisive, insightful responses to pro-abortion arguments; he also presents a full defense of the biblical worldview.”

The Knowledge of God in the World and the Word

Apologetics

“I heartily recommend this valuable volume by Doug Groothuis and Andrew Shepardson. Their book serves as an excellent guide about reasons for God’s existence and the Christian faith. In addition to clearly laying out these arguments, the authors place them in their proper theological and philosophical context. What’s more, the authors include examples from their own academic and ministry experiences, helping bring these arguments into a clearer light and make them more accessible and relevant.”

The Morals of the Story

Apologetics

“The Morals of the Story is a delight to read! It weaves together resources from philosophy, literature, and science as well as illustrations from popular culture and the authors' personal experiences. The result is a powerful, accessible, winsome presentation of the moral argument for God's existence and—in light of our own moral failure—the hope we have in the gospel of Christ.”

The New Chosen People, Revised and Expanded Edition

Theology

“I cannot recommend too strongly William Klein's The New Chosen People--now in its long-awaited, expanded second edition. The first edition of this book was quite influential in my thinking about election, predestination, grace, and sovereignty, and I have often commended it to others. Irenic in tone, Klein's discussion of corporate--rather than individual--election for salvation and its ramifications is exegetically sound, theologically fruitful, and morally satisfying.”

Theodicy of Love

Theology

“John Peckham's Theodicy of Love fills an important gap in the literature addressing the problem of evil; his book is both faithful to Scripture and philosophically sound. Peckham effectively builds his case in a manner that neither affirms evil as necessary; diminishes genuine human freedom; nor surrenders divine omnipotence, omniscience, or omnibenevolence. His bold treatment of cosmic conflict in relation to the problem of evil is insightful. Well done!”

Thinking About Christian Apologetics

Apologetics

“Finally--a balanced, readable, yet sufficiently nuanced introduction to Christian apologetics! Beilby covers much terrain as he ably summarizes the central themes and assesses the relevant literature. A terrific textbook!”

Transhumanism and the Image of God

Science & Faith

“Jacob Shatzer's book is a superb guide for the Christian disciple who seeks to be faithful to Christ in a technology-dominant society. It is engagingly written, highly accessible, wide-ranging in its scope, and immensely practical in its application. I am pleased to recommend this thoughtful, important—indeed, essential—work.”

Understanding Postmodernism

Philosophy

“Understanding Postmodernism is an important book that helps readers navigate between the extremes concerning truth: taking a completely neutral, unbiased, infallible God's-eye view of reality or stepping into the destructive quicksand of relativism. In an age in which professing Christians are increasingly embracing postmodern assumptions, this book is a proper corrective in its overview and assessment of the key themes of postmodernism as well as a defense of a gospel-centered understanding of truth.”

Unimaginable

Christian Living

“What a difference the gospel makes! The book presents not only a powerful apologetic for a culture that takes for granted the legacy of the Christian faith but also a clear vision of the transforming power the gospel can bring to any society.”

Voices of Reason in Christian History

History & Biography

“Gannon Murphy has done a great service for both Christian apologists and the wider believing community. With impressive depth, he presents the ideas and arguments set forth by the leading defenders of the faith across the ages. He reminds us of the debt of gratitude we owe to those giants on whose shoulders we stand.”

Wandering Toward God

Apologetics

“Travis Dickinson's Wandering Toward God is a superb guide to dealing with doubt. It is honest, insightful, nuanced, and practical. While many helpful books on the topic of doubt have been written, Dickinson provides us with a unique resource. He brings together a wide array of doubt-related themes and carefully arranges them into a well-crafted book—one that will serve doubters and other strugglers well as they wander and find their way back to God.”

What Is Man?

Science & Faith

“WHAT IS MAN? Adam, alien or ape? Edgar Andrews BSc, PhD, DSc, FInstP, FIMMM, CEng, CPhys. WHAT IS MAN? ADAM, ALIEN OR APE? Edgar Andrews has a way of making the profound accessible. His scholarship informs the reader about key questions of our time, offering wise guidance and illumination.”

When Life Feels Empty

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Isaac Serrano's very lively, readable volume is a marvelous contemporary application of the book of Ecclesiastes, whose enduring value is reinforced yet again. Serrano's life experience, keen pastoral insights, and pointed practical engagement with real issues in our culture make this a penetrating, thought-provoking work on life's meaning for our day and age.”

Who Are You, Really?

Philosophy

“As we have come to expect, Josh Rasmussen has written another volume that is clear, carefully reasoned, and illuminating, and it is full of marvelous analogies and accessible illustrations. Rasmussen's account of personhood and its origin, and what constitutes personal identity, is not only masterful in its logically structural layout; it is also modest, wise, engaging, and persuasive. A fine work!”
