paperbackTrue Truth
Defending Absolute Truth in a Relativistic World
by Art Lindsley
Conventional wisdom holds that any belief in absolutes, especially of a religious nature, leads inevitably to the oppressive absolutism of such movements as the Inquisition, the Crusades and even Nazism.

paperbackMoral Darwinism
How We Became Hedonists
by Benjamin Wiker
Foreword by William A. DembskiAbortion. Euthanasia. Infanticide. Sexual promiscuity. Ideas and actions once unthinkable have become commonplace.

A Debate Between William Lane Craig Gerd Ludemann
Edited by Paul Copan and Ronald K. Tacelli

paperbackC. S. Lewis Francis Schaeffer
Lessons for a New Century from the Most Influential Apologists of Our Time
by Scott R. Burson and Jerry L. Walls
In some ways, they could not be more different: the pipe-smoking, Anglican Oxford don and the blue-collar scion of conservative Presbyterianism. But C. S.

In this book Scott Burson and Jerry Walls compare and ...

paperbackIn Defense of Miracles
A Comprehensive Case for God's Action in History
Edited by R. Douglas Geivett and Gary R. Habermas
Rumors of deception have surrounded claims of Jesus' resurrection ever since the soldiers appointed to guard his tomb made their report to the Jewish authorities.

Refined, revised, restated, his arguments still affect philosophic discussions of miracles today.

Edited by Timothy R. Phillips and Dennis L. Okholm

This, then, is the first book to address that vital task. In these pages some of evangelicalism's most stimulating thinkers ...

Believing. Most of us take it for granted.
