paperbackFaith Has Its Reasons
Integrative Approaches to Defending the Christian Faith
by Kenneth Boa and Robert M. Bowman Jr.
Ever since the apostle Paul addressed the Stoic and Epicurean philosophers in Athens, relating the Christian worldview to a non-Christian world has been a challenge. And despite Peter's charge to be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15), most Christian laypeople have left apologetics—the defense of the faith—to the ecclesiastical ...

Ancient Christian Devotional Set
Edited by Cindy Crosby
General Editor Thomas C. Oden"To search the sacred Scripture is very good and most profitable for the soul.

A Conversation on Faith, Psychology and Neuroscience
by Malcolm Jeeves
The field of psychology, and especially neuropsychology, can be daunting for Christian students trying to find their way.

In Minds, Brains, Souls and Gods, the highly esteemed ...
