A Matter of Days Book

Hugh Ross (Author)

How long were the creation days of Genesis—hours or epochs? Does belief in an old earth equate to belief in evolution? Was there any kind of death before the Fall?

The length of the creation days in Genesis sparks a storm of controversy. At the core of the debate, where lightning strikes and thunder roars, lie key questions whose answers promise hope for resolution.

In A Matter of Days, author and astronomer Hugh Ross addresses these questions and explores how the creation-day controversy developed. History, theology, science, and Scripture reveal creation's big picture.

Am I Just My Brain?

Am I Just My Brain? Book

Sharon Dirckx (Author)

Modern research is uncovering more and more detail of what our brain is and how it works. We are living, thinking creatures who carry around with us an amazing organic supercomputer in our heads.

But what is the relationship between our brains and our minds-and ultimately our sense of identity as a person? Are we more than machines? Is free-will an illusion? Do we have a soul?

Brain scientist Sharon Dirckx lays out the current understanding of who we are from biologists, philosophers, theologians and psychologists, and points towards a bigger picture, that suggests answers to the fundamental questions of …

Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus--and Why It Matters Today

Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus--and Why It Matters Today Book

Jeremiah Johnston (Author)

Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday school understanding of their own faith. As a result, Christianity’s most important historical fact—the resurrection—is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral services, creating a powerless Christianity.

In Body of Proof, acclaimed apologist and scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston sets out to show why Jesus’ victory over death is central to a believer’s faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and presents seven tangible, fresh reasons to believe Jesus …

Coming to Faith Through Dawkins: 12 Essays on the Pathway from New Atheism to Christianity Book

Denis Alexander (Author) & Alister McGrath (Author)

The book "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins," edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath, explores the surprising journeys of twelve individuals who converted to Christianity.

Despite coming from diverse backgrounds and countries, these people share a common thread: they were initially drawn to the ideas of Richard Dawkins and other prominent new atheists.

However, upon closer examination, they found the arguments and conclusions of Dawkins lacking. This critical engagement with atheism led them to explore religious faith with greater objectivity.

The book challenges the notion that Christianity and science are inherently opposed. The contributors argue that a deep examination of …

Cosmic Chemistry: Do God and Science Mix? Book

John C Lennox (Author)

"In this accessible and engaging introduction, [John Lennox] guides us through the great debates about science and faith, and offers incisive assessments of the issues." Alister McGrath, Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford

Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge really compatible with a sincere faith in God?

Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge Book

Michael J. Behe (Author)
The groundbreaking, "seminal work" (Time) on intelligent design that dares to ask, was Darwin wrong? In 1996, Darwin's Black Box helped to launch the intelligent design movement: the argument that nature exhibits evidence of design, beyond Darwinian randomness. It sparked a national debate on evolution, which continues to intensify across the country. From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key intelligent design text—the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it.

Did God Really Command Genocide?: Coming to Terms with the Justice of God

Did God Really Command Genocide?: Coming to Terms with the Justice of God Book

Paul Copan (Author) & Matthew Flannagan (Author)

Would a good, kind, and loving deity ever command the wholesale slaughter of nations? We often avoid reading difficult Old Testament passages that make us squeamish and quickly jump to the enemy-loving, forgiving Jesus of the New Testament. And yet, the question remains.

In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.

Does Christianity still make sense? Years after Bobby Conway became a Christian, this question haunted him.

In an increasingly secular society, those who have a biblical worldview are now a shrinking minority.

Fit for a Purpose: Does the Anthropic Principle include Biochemistry? Book

Fazale Rana (Author)

Nearly a half a century after the introduction of the idea that humanity lives in a universe at the just-right location, the just-right time, and with the just-right physical constants, the anthropic principle continues to gain acceptance among astronomers and astrophysicists. Few scientists question the fine-tuning of the numerical quantities that define the universe.

But what about the unexplored areas of chemistry and biochemistry? Do we witness an equal amount of evidence for fine-tuning?

In Fit for a Purpose, biochemist Fazale Rana, fearlessly pushes the boundaries of the anthropic principle beyond cosmology. In the process, Rana invites the reader to …

Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists are missing the target Book

John C Lennox (Author)
Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God. Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, "is dangerous", it "kills" or "poisons everything". And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward? Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist Book

Norman Geisler (Author) & Frank Turek (Author) & David Limbaugh (Foreword)

In "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist," Frank Turek argues that atheism requires more faith than belief in God. He challenges the idea that the universe arose by chance and suggests scientific principles like the Laws of Thermodynamics point to a purposeful design.

The book explores philosophical concepts like objective morality and the nature of truth. Turek contends that these concepts necessitate a source beyond the material world, which atheism cannot provide. He also examines the problem of evil, arguing that if God exists, evil must serve a greater purpose.

Turek dedicates sections to the reliability of …

Jesus, Contradicted: Why the Gospels Tell the Same Story Differently

Jesus, Contradicted: Why the Gospels Tell the Same Story Differently Book

Mike Licona (Author)

The differences and discrepancies in the Gospels constitute the foremost objections to their reliability and the credibility of their message. Some have tried to resolve Gospels contradictions with strained harmonization efforts. Many others conclude that the Gospels are hopelessly contradictory and, therefore, historically unreliable accounts of Jesus.

In Jesus, Contradicted, New Testament scholar Michael Licona shows how the genre of ancient biography, to which the Gospels belong, actually allows biographers to be flexible in how they report events, construct a narrative, and make an argument. Licona demonstrates that the intentional changes to the Jesus tradition by the Evangelists reveal that …

Navigating Genesis: A Scientist's Journey through Genesis 1-11 Book

Is constructive integration of Genesis 1-11 with the current scientific knowledge possible? Everyone knows the Bible teaches scientific nonsense that s the commonly held misconception. When pushed for examples, skeptics point to the early part of Genesis, with stories of creation, the flood, and 900-year life spans as proof. Examining recent scientific discoveries, astronomer and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross explores the opening chapters in Genesis and shows how they hold some of the strongest scientific evidence for the Bible s supernatural accuracy. Navigating Genesis expands upon Ross earlier book The Genesis Question (1998), integrating the message of both the Bible … Access details page

On the Resurrection, Volume 1: Evidences Book

Gary Habermas (Author)

In the first volume of his major work, "On the Resurrection: Evidences," Gary Habermas dedicates decades of research to the historical possibility of Jesus's resurrection.

Habermas proposes a "minimal facts argument" to establish the reliability of the biblical and historical accounts surrounding the resurrection.

This argument aims to convince readers that even if we don't accept every detail, the core elements of the story - Jesus's death, the empty tomb, and appearances to disciples - are likely true based on historical analysis.

By examining these "minimal facts," Habermas contends that the resurrection is the best explanation for the early Christian …

Origins of life Book

Fazale Rana (Author) & Hugh Ross (Author)

For years, naturalistic theories have monopolized academia as the only possible scientific explanation for the origin of life. But there's something many people don't know—the facts just don't support such theories.

In Origins of Life, biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross reveal a model that shows how perspectives on life's beginnings can be tested—as a creation event—with astounding results. Rana and Ross challenge the myth that scientific evidence supports naturalistic theories and show how research corroborates a transcendent Creator who formed and nurtured the initial life-forms, and more.

Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe Book

Stephen C. Meyer (Author)

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology.

Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief — that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and …

The foundations of scientific materialism are in the process of crumbling. In Signature in the Cell, philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer shows how the digital code in DNA points powerfully to a designing intelligence behind the origin of life.

Unlike previous arguments for intelligent design, Signature in the Cell presents a radical and comprehensive new case, revealing the evidence not merely of individual features of biological complexity but rather of a fundamental constituent of the universe: information. That evidence has been mounting exponentially in recent years, known to scientists in specialized fields but largely hidden from public view.

Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case Book

Frank Turek (Author)

In "Stealing from God," author Frank Turek argues that atheism unknowingly relies on concepts inherent to theism. He calls this phenomenon "C.R.I.M.E.S.," referring to Causality, Reason, Information and Intentionality, Morality, Evil, and Science.

Turek contends that atheists borrow the idea of causality, the principle that everything has a cause, to explain the universe's origin. He argues that without a God as the ultimate cause, atheism struggles to explain existence.

Similarly, Turek claims that reason and logic, tools atheists use to critique religion, are themselves God-given concepts. He posits that objective truth, a prerequisite for reason, necessitates a moral lawgiver like …

In The Case for Faith, bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel turns his investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief in God--the eight "heart barriers" to faith:

  • "Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot"
  • "Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true"
  • "Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed"
  • "God isn't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children"
  • "It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God"
  • "A loving God would never torture people in hell"
  • "Church history is littered with oppression and violence"
  • "I still have doubts, so I …

The Case for Miracles Book

Lee Strobel (Author)

Lee Strobel, a former atheist and legal journalist, embarks on a quest to investigate the validity of miracles in his book "The Case for Miracles." He begins by interviewing Dr. Michael Shermer, a well-known skeptic, who presents arguments against the existence of miracles, often citing the improbability of defying natural laws. This challenge serves as the foundation for Strobel's exploration.

Strobel then delves into personal accounts of miraculous events, including healings and interventions seemingly defying scientific explanation. He also engages with experts like Dr. Gary Habermas, a philosopher of religion, and Dr. Richard Dawkins, a renowned evolutionary biologist, who offer …

The Crucifixion of Jesus: A Medical Doctor Examines the Death and Resurrection of Christ Book

Joseph Bergeron (Author)

This ground-breaking work offers a unique apologetic argument for the validity of the Gospel accounts of Jesus' death and resurrection.

  • The social and political context leading up to Jesus' execution

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine Book

Alister McGrath (Author)

World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: "If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down." The volume has received wide coverage, fueled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion.

Alister McGrath, along with his wife Joanna, are ideal to evaluate Dawkins's ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different …

The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul

The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul Book

Michael Egnor (Author) & Denyse O'Leary (Author)

A neuroscientist and surgeon makes an argument for the existence of a spiritual human soul in this eye-opening book.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.

The human brain …

The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism Book

Timothy Keller (Author)

From Tim Keller's Website:

Why does God allow suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion be “right” and the others “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?

These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons …
