Written by one of the best communicators of the Christian faith in our day, this classic has helped countless people understand the basic truths of the Christian faith. Know What You Believe clearly explains what the Bible teaches about God, Jesus Christ, sin, the Holy Spirit, the church, God’s Word, Satan and his demons, salvation, and coming events.

How accurate is the historical information on the New Testament? Is the New Testament a myth? Is there any evidence apart from Christian sources? How soon after Jesus’ death were the New Testament documents written? Were errors introduced as manuscripts were copied and translated through the centuries? These are some of the questions tackled in this succinct and straightforward book that weighs the reliability of New Testament documents in light of the powerful evidence for its integrity.


A Christian philosopher and an outspoken atheist thinker have a lively and revealing debate over the evidence for the existence of God. If you long to reach out to atheists with the truth of the gospel, this debate will open your eyes to the standard atheist approach toward the question of God’s existence and how the Christian can rightly defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints!

The Historical Jesus is a valuable addition to any Christian’s library.
The principles, arguments, and evidences contained in this book provide
well-researched answers about the true Jesus of history.

The real face of atheism -whether disguised in Eastern mysticism or American cynicism – is despair.  Zacharias asserts that those who reject God cannot claim an absence of evidence, and are instead suppressing the vidence. Approaching apologetics from a philosophical perspective, he offers a thought-provoking comparison of atheistic and Christian beliefs.

This book provides a solid, Christian defense against Postmodernism, the guiding spirit of our times that teaches that things like reason and rationality are cultural biases and that truth – especially biblical truth – does not exist.

“Einstein once remarked that the most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” This statement, quoted by William Dembski, is a way of summarizing intelligent design theory, which argues that it is possible to find evidence for design in the universe. This 302 page hard covered book is organized into three parts: the first part gives an introduction to design and shows how modernity–science in the last two centuries–has undermined our intuition of this truth.

How can we identify events due to intelligent causes and distinguish them from events due to undirected natural causes? If we lack a causal theory, how can we determine whether an intelligent cause acted? This book presents a reliable method for detecting intelligent causes: the design inference.

Joining the ranks of Philip Johnson and Michael Behe, Cornelius G. Hunter gives us “Darwin’s God: Evolution and the Problem of Evil”, the latest must-read installment of scholarship on human origins. Beginning with the provocative statement that “evolution is neither atheism in disguise nor is it merely science at work,” Hunter denies evolution’s claim to be pure science, beyond the “entanglements” of faith or belief.

Here is the book that has shaken the scientific establishment. From fossil evidence to molecular biology, Phillip E. Johnson offers a careful, reasoned evaluation of the support for Darwinism. Included in this new edition are Johnson’s revisions to Chapter 5 and substantive appendix in which Johnson responds specifically and eloquently to his critics.

Now at your fingertips, the most up-to-date facts of the major religions of the new millennium. This reader-friendly encyclopedia from the respected team of Ankerberg and Weldon provides comprehensive information on major religious groups from both Western and Eastern traditions as well as occult and spiritistic sects…

The authors explore the inconsistencies inherent in the relativist position, suggest specific approaches that can be used in the course of dialog, and consider the everyday implications of relativism, especially in relation to important issues such as abortion, homosexuality, multiculturalism, political correctness and tolerance. This book offers commonsense assistance to all who desire to understand the modern challenges to the Christian faith.

Sproul says predestination isn’t just for Calvinists. Predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but paints the portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt human beings.

Jesus Among Other Gods provides the answers to the most fundamental claims about Christianity, such as: * Aren’t all religions fundamentally the same? * Was Jesus who He claimed to be? * Is the Christian claim to His
uniqueness valid?…

A classic evangelical introduction to world views, this succinct resource covers Christian theism, deism, naturalism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, and the New Age movement.

Death – and what lies beyond – is not something you consider every day.  But the thought of it raises some intriguing questions: Are there good reasons for believing in life after death? What is the afterlife like? How valid are the reports of near-death experiences? Do Heaven and Hell exist?

Do we have free will? Does God predestine certain people to heaven and others to hell? Shank demonstrates that Calvin’s doctrine of predestination is without foundation in the Scriptures. His position asserts that the election of grace does not rule out the salvation of any man, and that God truly wills all men to be saved.

Anti-intellectualism has become the scandal of evangelicalism. Over the
course of 200 years, it has gradually become part and parcel of our
evangelical identity. Yet today the failure to love God with our minds as
well as our hearts is not only a sin – it’s a crippling cultural handicap
in an age when ideas have greater consequences than ever.

This book takes a powerful, straightforward look at the growing acceptance of homosexuality in the evangelical community. From his unique perspective of the pro-gay Christian movement, Joe Dallas provides a thorough background in the development and nature of the movement, a concise and detailed understanding of pro-gay theology with a clear biblical response, and a practical, compassionate plan to bring truth to people caught in the homosexual lifestyle.

Dallas offers effective help for readers seeking to restore sexual wholeness and move ahead in the Christian life. This book is important reading not only for those who struggle with their sexual identity, but for anyone who cares about a family member or friend struggling with same sex desires.

Was the resurrection of Jesus a fact of history or a figment of hallucination? Was it an event that entailed a raised and transformed body and an empty tomb? Or was it a subjective, visionary experience-a collective delusion? In the view of many, the truth of Christianity hangs on the answer to this question. Jesus’ Resurrection: Fact or Figment?

Lucid, comprehensive, and eminently readable, Beckwith provides a devastating analysis of the biological, philosophical, and moral justifications for abortion.

When Lee Strobel’s wife became a Christian, he found that the positive changes in her were too noticeable to ignore. Since he had a law background (Yale Law School), and was an investigative reporter, Strobel decided to subject the claims of Christianity to the type of scrutiny he used in reporting on legal cases for a major newspaper. The result: The Case for Christ, a book which chronicles Strobel’s journey from atheist to Christian, and offers a compelling argument for the veracity of the Christian faith.

In his best-seller “The Case for Christ”, the legally trained investigative reporter Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, turning in the hard-won yet satisfying verdict that Jesus is the Son of God. Yet despite this historical evidence, many grapple with doubts and serious concerns about faith in God.

Do recent scientific discoveries provide definitive proof of the existence of God? In his characteristic narrative style, Strobel brings this complex topic to vibrant life as he demonstrates how science undergirds Christian beliefs. His conclusions are certain to bolster your faith, as well as break down barriers between seekers and God!

It seems like there are basically three kinds of thinking non-believers: those who think believing in God is irrational; those who think believing in God is unimportant; and those who think believing in God is dangerous to self-worship. Yet all three kinds of skeptics need the life-transforming power of the gospel. McGrath will teach you how to approach skeptics successfully, how to overcome barriers to faith, and how to integrate apologetics into a variety of forums.

Are the new Roman Catholic apologists being honest with you? Can you
really put your faith in what they’re teaching? “Evangelical Answers” examines the arguments of today’s Catholic apologists in depth and shows
Biblically and historically why Evangelicals are right to reject those teachings and claims of the Catholic church that are unbiblical.

Have you really thought about your faith? Love Your God With All Your Mind examines the role of the mind in spiritual transformation and explains how believers can use their intellect to further God’s kingdom through evangelism, apologetics, worship, and vocation.

A great book and a powerful apologetic.  From the Cosmological Argument to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, author/philosopher J.P. Moreland presents flawlessly, strong arguments in defense of Christianity.

The Trinity is a basic teaching of the Christian faith. It defines God’sessence and describes how He relates to us. This book is a concise,  understandable explanation of what the Trinity is and why it matters. It refutes cultic distortions of God from groups like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses and is a balanced look at all three persons of the Trinity.

This book is the second in a series that attempts to prove that early Christianity did not borrow beliefs and practices from pagan religions and philosophies of the time. This second edition investigates the relationship of early Christianity to the pagan mystery religions. This book includes an annotated bibliography as well as indexes of persons and subjects.
