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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Logical and Biblical Defense\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sets forth the basic truth claims of Christianity to show the rationality of the Christian faith\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deals with arguments from philosophy, science, reason, logic, and history\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for New and Seasoned Believers Alike\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helps Christians know what they believe and why they believe it\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGreat Resource for Individual, Small Group, or Classroom Study\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection 1: The Apologetic Task\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: The Task of Apologetics\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Apologetics and Saving Faith\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection 2: The Four Essential Principles of Knowledge\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Introducing the Four Principles\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The Law of Noncontradiction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Contradiction, Paradox, and Mystery\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: The Law of Causality\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Hume’s Critique of Causality and the Basic\u003cbr\u003eReliability of Sense Perception\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Logical Positivism and Its Ghosts Today: Analogical Use of Language\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection 3: Natural Reason and Faith\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Natural Theology and Science\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Aquinas and Kant\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection 4: The Case for God’s Existence: Four Possibilities\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: Illusion\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Self-Creation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Creation by Chance\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: A Self-Existent Being\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: A Self-Existent Universe\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection 5: God and the Philosophers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: The God of the Philosophers and the God of the Bible\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: Kant’s Moral Argument\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: The Nihilists\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: The Psychology of Atheism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection 6: The Case for Biblical Authority\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: The Authority of the Bible\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: Jesus’s Teaching about Scripture\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: The Trustworthiness of the Teaching of Jesus\u003cbr\u003eChapter 23: The Testimony of the Holy Spirit\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Index\u003cbr\u003eScripture Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52077446299946,"sku":"9781433599101","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7746\/8458\/files\/9781433599101__54275.1743535430.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784050876","url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.org\/products\/defending-your-faith-an-introduction-to-apologetics","provider":"Reformation Heritage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
