This is another in a series of books sponsored by the International
Council on Biblical Inerrancy. The fourteen leading evangelical
scholars who have contributed to this volume come from various
denominations and have written on a wide range of topics related to
the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible. Believing that this
doctrine is 'an essential element of the authority of Scripture and
a necessary ingredient for the health of the church of Christ, '
they have made a strong defense of it. This book is presented as an
appeal to the church of Jesus Christ. To those churches that hold
to the inerrancy of Scripture, it is a call to hold the line. To
those churches that have given way to the persuasions of radical
higher criticism, it is a call to return to the historic position
of Christianity. Inerrnacy is shown to be a doctrine of crucial
importance to the church. Among the chapter titles are these:
Christ's View of Scripture - Alleged Errors and Discrepancies in
the Original Manuscripts of the Bible - Higher Criticism and
Biblical Inerrancy - Legitimate Hermeneutics - The Human Authorship
of Inspired Scripture - The Meaning of Inerrancy - Philosophical
Presuppositions of Biblical Errancy - The View of the Bible Held by
the Church - B. B. Warfield Versus G. C. Berkouwer on Scripture --
Included as an appendix is the Statement of the Council. This
Statement consists of three parts: a Summary Statement, Articles of
Affirmation and Denial, and an Exposition. The intent of this
declaration underlies all of the chapters in this significant book
A ministry resource for motivating all Christians to become
thoughtful apologists of their faith Although apologetics is as
crucial today as it has ever been, the classical model for
defending the faith often seems irrelevant to the 21st century
where people listen with their eyes and think with their emotions.
Is Your Church Ready? Presents a team of highly qualified Christian
thinkers---including Ravi Zacharias, John Guest, Jay Budziszewski,
Judy Salisbury, Dean Halverson, and Peter Grant---who build a case
for the place of apologetics in the local church, home, and school.
Using personal examples and illustrations they address: * How to
answer objections to Christianity * How to equip children in the
home and prepare youth to remain committed to Christ after they
leave for college * How to reach international students and the
foreign-born Included are discussion questions and a Church Leaders
Resource Guide to the best books, articles, organizations, and
websites on the subject."

"I wish I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist had been
available when I was an atheist-it would have saved a lot of time
in my spiritual journey toward God." Lee Strobel, author, The Case
for Christ, The Case for Faith, and The Case for a Creator "This
extremely readable book brilliantly builds the case for
Christianity from the question of truth all the way to the
inspiration of the Bible. And the verdict is in: Christians stand
on mounds of solid evidence while skeptics cling to nothing but
their blind, dogmatic faith. If you're still a skeptic after
reading I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, then I suspect
you're living in denial." Josh McDowell, speaker and author of
Evidence That Demands a Verdict This study guide is the ultimate
resource to use side-by-side with I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be
an Atheist and help the reader draw out the evidence for
Christianity as well as provide practical insights on how to engage
skeptics with the truth addressed in the book. The study guide is
divided up into three parts that emboldens the reader to get
motivated, equips the reader to be trained, and engages the reader
so that they are prepared to readily respond to the objections
asserted by skeptics and atheist. Dr. Norman L. Geisler has taught
at the university and graduate levels for more than 50 years and
has spoken and debated all over the world. He holds an MA from
Wheaton College and a PhD in philosophy from Loyola University, and
is presently Provost and Distinguished Professor of Apologetics at
Veritas Evangelical Seminary in Murrieta, California. He is the
author and coauthor of more than 70 books. For more information,

Raging War of Ideas study guide for small groups. For more

Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue that Christianity requires the
least faith of all worldviews because it is the most reasonable. A
valuable aid to those interested in examining the reasonableness of
the Christian faith.
Understanding the New Testament is a daunting but exciting task.
Our world is so different from that of the first century. Yet it is
important to understand the context and content of the New
Testament if we are to be faithful followers. Now in paper, this
survey addresses the who, what, where, when, why, and how questions
that readers of the Bible may have, such as: How can we tell if
what is written in the New Testament is true history or just
mythology? When were these books written and why? and What can
today's believers get out of letters addressed to people who lived
two millennia ago? Written in an easy, informal style, this survey
is accessible and enjoyable to anyone who wants to better
understand the New Testament.
According to the authors, the doctrine of inerrancy has been
standard, accepted teaching for more than 1,000 years. In 1978, the
famous "Chicago Statement" on inerrancy was adopted by the
Evangelical Theological Society, and for decades it has been the
accepted conservative evangelical doctrine of the Scriptures.
However, in recent years, some prominent evangelical authors have
challenged this statement in their writings.
Now eminent apologist and bestselling author Norman L. Geisler, who
was one of the original drafters of the "Chicago Statement," and
his coauthor, William C. Roach, present a defense of the
traditional understanding of inerrancy for a new generation of
Christians who are being assaulted with challenges to the nature of
God, truth, and language. Pastors, students, and armchair
theologians will appreciate this clear, reasoned response to the
current crisis.

Does the Bible support the concept of 'once saved, always saved, '
or can a person lose his or her salvation? How do the Scriptures
portray the complex interplay between grace and free will? These
and related questions are explored from different angles in this
thought-provoking Counterpoints volume. The contributors each state
their case for one of four prominent views on eternal security:
classical Calvinist, moderate Calvinist, reformed Arminian, and
Wesleyan Arminian. In keeping with the forum approach of the
Counterpoints series, each view is first presented by its
proponent, then critiqued and defended. This fair and respectful
approach allows you to weigh for yourself the strengths and
weaknesses of the different doctrinal stances. By furnishing you
with scholarly and thoughtful perspectives on the topic of eternal
security, this book helps you sift through opposing views to arrive
at your own informed conclusions. The Counterpoints series provides
a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues
important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two
categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your

Every believer has questions about God, the Bible, Jesus, and the
purpose and meaning of life. The vexing problem is that so few
believers are able to answer even the most basic ones. Without
answers, doubt creeps in and the future of the church is in
jeopardy. With insight and precision, Geisler and Jimenez address
one hundred penetrating questions that the culture asks and
Christians must be prepared to answer, including both controversial
questions raging in the public sphere and personal questions about
family issues, the purpose and meaning of life, and the future of
the world. Christians from every walk of life, especially young
believers, youth workers, and parents, will treasure this

In this thorough update of a classic textbook, noted Christian
thinker Norman Geisler evaluates contemporary ethical options (such
as antinomianism, situation ethics, and legalism) and pressing
issues of the day (such as euthanasia, homosexuality, and divorce)
from a biblical perspective. The second edition is significantly
expanded and updated, with new material and charts throughout the
book. There are new chapters on animal rights, sexual ethics, and
the biblical basis for ethical decisions, as well as four new
appendixes addressing drugs, gambling, pornography, and birth
control. The author has significantly updated his discussion of
abortion, biomedical ethics, war, and ecology and has expanded the
selected readings, bibliography, and glossary.
If God is in control, are people really free? This question has
bothered Christians for centuries. And answers have covered a wide
spectrum. Today Christians still disagree. Those who emphasize
human freedom view it as a reflection of God's self-limited power.
Others look at human freedom in the order of God's overall control.
In this Spectrum Multiview volume, David and Randall Basinger have
put this age-old question to four scholars trained in theology and
philosophy. John Feinberg of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
and Norman Geisler of Dallas Theological Seminary focus on God's
specific sovereignty. Bruce Reichenbach of Augsburg College and
Clark Pinnock of McMaster Divinity College insist that God must
limit his control to ensure our freedom. Each writer argues for his
perspective and applies his theory to two practical case studies.
Then the other writers respond to each of the major essays,
exposing what they see as fallacies and hidden assumptions. This is
a lively and provocative volume. Spectrum Multiview Books offer a
range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving
contributors the opportunity to present their position and also
respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.
The Reformed movement has gotten younger and more outspoken since
"Chosen But Free" was published more than ten years ago, making the
topic of divine election one of utmost importance to the church
today. Young Christians in particular are in constant debate over
these issues, wondering what is true and how it might affect their
lives.
People on both sides of the debate will want to read a
"middle-ground" book. In addition, this revision deals more
directly with the personal issues involved in the debate. For
example, how do our beliefs about free will affect us when it comes
to perceptions of love, personal responsibility, and purpose? And
how does it affect our ability to worship God?
"The Big Book of Christian Apologetics "is a comprehensive resource
designed to equip motivated believers with information to help
defend and explain their faith. Examining nearly every key issue,
person, and concept related to Christian apologetics, this book
clarifies difficult biblical passages, clearly explains various
philosophical systems and concepts, examines contemporary issues
and challenges, and offers classic apologetic arguments, all with
the aim of giving readers the background to intelligently and
persuasively talk about their Christian faith with skeptics. An
expertly abridged version of the "Baker Encyclopedia on Christian
Apologetics," this resource brings leading apologist Norman L.
Geisler's seminal work to the masses.
