Apologetic Primer Explains How Reason Supports Christianity’s ClaimsFrom the classroom to mainstream media, Christians regularly find their fundamental beliefs discounted by opponents who consider faith to be incompatible with reason. Faith is viewed as subjective, emotional, and a crutch for those who find the real world too hard. The late R. C. Sproul, however, claims faith reveals just how rational Christianity truly is. This book surveys the history and fundamentals of apologetics to demonstrate how reason and scientific inquiry actually support Christianity’s claims—thus equipping believers to defend the existence of God and the Bible’s authority. The defense of the faith is not a luxury or an intellectual vanity. It is a task appointed by God to give reason to your eternal hope as you bear witness before the world. A Logical and Biblical Defense: Sets forth the basic truth claims of Christianity to show the rationality of the Christian faithComprehensive: Deals with arguments from philosophy, science, reason, logic, and historyIdeal for New and Seasoned Believers Alike: Helps Christians know what they believe and why they believe itGreat Resource for Individual, Small Group, or Classroom Study
