General Apologetics |
|
The Case For Christ; Lee Strobel. Quickly becoming a classic Apologetics reference. Mr. Strobel, a former atheist, Chicago Tribune reporter, sets out to research some of the most asked questions about the historicity and validity of the records of Jesus Christ. He asks many seasoned scholars questions such as: Can the Biographies of Christ be Trusted? Is There Credible Evidence For Jesus Outside His Biographies? Does Archaeology Confirm Or Contradict Jesus' Biographies? Did Jesus Fulfill The Attributes Of God? Are There Any Supporting Facts That Point To The Resurrection? A MUST HAVE book for any Apologists library! |
 |
The Case For Faith; Lee Strobel. Mr Strobel continues his excellent investigation with some of the popular 'issues' of Christian doctrine and belief. Following the theme of The Case For Christ, he interviews some of the most respected Christian scholars to find their answers to objections such as: Since Evil And Suffering Exist, A Loving God Cannot; Evolution Explains Life, So God Isn't Needed; It's Offensive To Claim Jesus Is The Only Way To God; and I Still Have Doubts, So I Can't Be A Christian. Another MUST HAVE for the Apologist's library! | |
