What book should you suggest for a book study in your church?

3 Comments

The two books you should pick to learn apologetics are “On Guard” by William Lane Craig and “Tactics” by Greg Koukl.

Recently, Bill did a podcast introducing “On Guard”.

The MP3 file is here. (19 minutes)

Topics:

  • the book is much easier to read than “Reasonable Faith”
  • explains what apologetics is and why it matters to Christians
  • explains why atheism makes life meaningless and irrational
  • the inadequacy of personal experiences for persuading others
  • describes four arguments in favor of Christianity
  • responds to common objections to the four arguments

The book also:

  • responds to the problems of evil and suffering
  • explains Jesus’ own divine self-understanding
  • outlines a historical case for the resurrection of Jesus
  • explains why it’s possible for Christianity to be exclusively true

There is a study guide for On Guard.

And you can read the first chapter for free.

Brian Auten interviews philosopher Paul Copan

Leave a comment

Brian Auten does it gain with an interview of one my favorite Christian scholars, Paul Copan.

The MP3 file is here.

Topics:

  • how Christians should deal with hard questions
  • finding balance in communication
  • using the moral argument in conversation
  • common errors when using the moral argument
  • the content of his upcoming book, Is God a Moral Monster?
  • advice for the apologist
  • and more!

Paul Copan is really a very hands-on, practical philosopher, solidly evangelical and fearless on defending the toughest Christian convictions.

Audio of Greg Koukl’s talk yesterday in Ottawa

Leave a comment

This is audio from his morning address in the 9 AM service at the Metropolitan Bible Church in Ottawa, Canada.

The link is here. (40 minutes)

This is basically an introduction to Greg Koukl’s idea of what an ambassador should be. He focuses on 3 topics: knowledge, wisdom and character.

An amazing women’s Bible study

I got a very interesting report from a person who saw my announcement post and attended the event. He met a woman there who had taught FOUR CLASSES in a row on Lee Strobel’s book “The Case for Faith”. The Case for Faith! And she also uses the DVD. The attendance ranged from 20-50 women! I thought women didn’t like apologetics… but I guess there are some places where they do!

Greg Koukl’s organization is Stand to Reason.
