A highly readable introduction to Christian apologetics that joins contemporary analytic philosophy with modern biblical scholarship.In this book, Paul Herrick presents the basics of classical Christian apologetics in the form of an inference to the best explanation argument that builds from the book's first chapter to its last. Drawing on contemporary philosophy, logic, and biblical scholarship, Herrick incorporates thoughts from Socrates, Plato, Thomas Aquinas, and C. S. Lewis, as well as scholars such as William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, Richard Swinburne, and Craig Blomberg, to present a multifaceted argument for the Christian faith. With sections on the Socratic method, the Christian examination of conscience, the Big Bang, miracles, the historical reliability of the New Testament, the resurrection of Christ, and more, this book promises to be useful intellectually and spiritually for seekers, doubters, and those already in the faith.

"In courtrooms and in scientific literature, the standard of proof is the same: reason to the best explanation for all the facts at hand. This book applies this commonsensical and powerful mode of thinking to many of the central claims of the Christian religion: the resurrection of Jesus, the reliability of the Gospels, and the existence of God." —Chad Engelland, author of Heidegger's Shadow"It is especially gratifying to see such a solid, well-researched, yet accessible book on apologetics published by an esteemed press. I learned a lot from reading it. Get Christian Apologetics and Philosophy, study it, and share it with your friends." —J. P. Moreland, co-author of The Substance of Consciousness
