The Folly of Unbelief


Book Description

"The fool says in his heart, "There is no God""-Psalms 14:1 "Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?-1 Corinthians 1:20 Is the Bible engaging in name-calling? Definitely not! The Bible refers to the "fool" as someone who is morally deficient, dense, and refuses to accept the truth. The unbeliever is foolish because he rejects God's Word. The wisdom of the world is foolish because God has made it so. This foolishness is not only moral or religious, but intellectual as well! Without God, man is utterly lost both morally and philosophically! This is because all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ! (Colossians 2:3) The Folly of Unbelief presents the strongest possible defense of Christian belief. Going on the offensive, it shows that all forms of unbelieving thought end up in intellectual and philosophical foolishness! The unbeliever has no place to stand intellectually in his war against the Christian faith. The Folly of Unbelief explores and illustrates the various philosophical failures of unbelieving thought. It is the Christian worldview alone, based on God's Word, that can guarantee the coherence of all human experience! Therefore all the unbeliever's attempts to argue against Christianity are futile. The failures of unbelieving systems of thought are presented in a fashion that is easy to understand and a clear style that can be followed by anyone regardless of their philosophical training. Only the Christian faith is rational and defensible, all contrary systems end in foolishness and futility of thought! The Folly of Unbelief is a philosophical expression of a fundamental Christian truth. GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY!




Exposition of the Christian Faith


Book Description

The author praises Gratian’s zeal for instruction in the Faith, and speaks lowly of his own merits. Taught of God Himself, the Emperor stands in no need of human instruction; yet this his devoutness prepares the way to victory. The task appointed to the author is difficult: in the accomplishment whereof he will be guided not so much by reason and argument as by authority, especially that of the Nicene Council.







Inerrancy and the Gospels


Book Description

Serious Bible readers all recognize that there are differences between accounts of the same events in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and no responsible reader can simply sweep these differences under the rug. But can all of the accounts still be reconciled with a belief in biblical inerrancy? Responding to the questions surrounding the gospel narratives, New Testament scholar Vern Poythress contributes a worthy case for inerrancy in the gospels and helps readers understand basic principles for harmonization. He also tackles some of the most complicated exegetical problems, showing the way forward on passages that have perplexed many, such as the centurion's servant, the cursing of the fig tree, and more. All those interested in the authority of Scripture will find in this volume great encouragement and insight as Poythress has provided an arresting case to stem the tide of skepticism.













The Making of an Atheist


Book Description

The new atheists are on the warpath. They come armed with arguments to show that belief in God is absurd and dangerous. In the name of societal progress, they promote purging the world of all religious practice. And they claim that people of faith are mentally ill. Some of the new atheists openly declare their hatred for the Judeo-Christian God. Christian apologists have been quick to respond to the new atheists’ arguments. But there is another dimension to the issue which begs to be addressed--the root causes of atheism. Where do atheists come from? How did such folks as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens become such ardent atheists? If we are to believe them, their flight from faith resulted from a dispassionate review of the evidence. Not enough rational grounds for belief in God, they tell us. But is this the whole story? Could it be that their opposition to religious faith has more to do with passion than reason? What if, in the end, evidence has little to do with how atheists arrive at their anti-faith? That is precisely the claim in this book. Atheism is not at all a consequence of intellectual doubts. These are mere symptoms of the root cause--moral rebellion. For the atheist, the missing ingredient is not evidence but obedience. The psalmist declares, “The fool says in his heart there is no God” (Ps. 14:1), and in the book of Romans, Paul makes it clear that lack of evidence is not the atheist’s problem. The Making of an Atheist confirms these biblical truths and describes the moral and psychological dynamics involved in the abandonment of faith.
