The Defense Of The Faith
by Cornelius Van Til
Restoring the full text of the original 1955 work, this annotated edition sets forth and explains a method of apologetics that is consistent with the nature of Christianity itself.
Attacks on Christianity have become more numerous and more pronounced in today’s world. Cornelius Van Til’s book The Defense of the Faith is a classic treatment on apologetics and endures for our time as crucial reading for the thinking Christian. Designed to stop secularists in their tracks, it is the kind of seminal work that serious defenders of the faith cannot afford to ignore. After laying a foundation in the Christian views of God, man, salvation, the world, and knowledge, Van Til explores the roles of authority, reason, and theistic proof, while contrasting Roman Catholic, Arminian, and Reformed methods of defending the faith.
Personal Note:
This book is the cornerstone of my own apologetic approach. Nearly every great presuppositionalist — from Greg Bahnsen to John Frame — stands on the shoulders of Van Til. If you’ve ever wondered why I argue the way I do, the roots go back here.
Scripture Alone: Exploring the Bible’s Accuracy, Authority and Authenticity
by James White
A denial of the sufficiency of Scripture is at the core of almost every form of opposition to the Christian faith today. Scripture Alone is written to instill a passionate love for and understanding of the Bible. In this defense of God’s inspired Word, readers will comprehend what “God’s Word”is, the nature of Scripture, the relationship of the Bible to tradition, how to apply Scripture to today’s issues, and much more. Included is a faith-inspiring study of the canon–what it is and where it came from.
Introduction To Logic
by Jason Lisle
Master Books’ Introduction to Logic: Informal Fallacies introduces logic – the principles of correct reasoning – from a Christian perspective. Students will learn to understand how logic is different from other areas they might have conflated it with (like science, or stoicism) and they’ll see how God is pro-reason and how logic intersects with what we know of God through His Word. Chapters cover the basics of inductive and deductive reasoning, if the Christian faith is illogical, syllogisms, and other foundational concepts before examining specific informal logical fallacies such as accent, hasty generalization, beginning the question, the birfucation fallacy, the No True Scotsman Fallacy, the Slippery Slope, the Strawman, and more. Full-color chapters feature helpful colorful charts and illustrations with important words highlighted. 183 pages, softcover. Grades 8-10.
Mere Christianity
by C.S. Lewis
Arguably the 20th century’s most influential Christian writer, C.S. Lewis sought to explain and defend the beliefs that nearly all Christians at all times hold in common. His simple yet deeply profound classic, originally delivered as a series of radio broadcasts, is a book to be thoroughly digested by believers and generously shared with skeptics. Paperback with French f laps and deckled page edges.
The Roman Catholic Controversy
by James R. White
Is the theological rift between evangelicals and Catholics closing? White looks at Catholic beliefs about papal authority, church tradition, purgatory, Mary, and more, and contrasts them with clear explanations of the authority of Scripture and justification by faith alone. Discover why although Catholics and evangelicals share some common ground, crucial differences remain. 288 pages, softcover from Bethany.
