Faith is viewed as subjective, emotional, and a crutch for those who find the real world too hard. The late R. C. Sproul, however, claims faith reveals just how rational Christianity truly is. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book surveys the history and fundamentals of apologetics to demonstrate how reason and scientific inquiry actually support Christianity’s claims—thus equipping believers to defend the existence of God and the Bible’s authority. The defense of the faith is not a luxury or an intellectual vanity. It is a task appointed by God to give reason to your eternal hope as you bear witness before the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Logical and Biblical Defense: Sets forth the basic truth claims of Christianity to show the rationality of the Christian faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive: Deals with arguments from philosophy, science, reason, logic, and history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for New and Seasoned Believers Alike: Helps Christians know what they believe and why they believe it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat Resource for Individual, Small Group, or Classroom Study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/static.crossway.org\/excerpts\/media\/e73d07ad5f5ca60ddcece7f2f1adcfaa6f266a2e\/Defending_Your_Faith_Excerpt.pdf\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead Sample Pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 1: The Apologetic Task\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e   Chapter 1: The Task of Apologetics\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 2: Apologetics and Saving Faith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 2: The Four Essential Principles of Knowledge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 3: Introducing the Four Principles\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 4: The Law of Noncontradiction\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 5: Contradiction, Paradox, and Mystery\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 6: The Law of Causality\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 7: Hume’s Critique of Causality and the Basic Reliability of Sense Perception\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 8: Logical Positivism and Its Ghosts Today: Analogical Use of Language\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 3: Natural Reason and Faith\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 9: Natural Theology and Science\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 10: Aquinas and Kant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 4: The Case for God’s Existence: Four Possibilities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 11: Illusion\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 12: Self-Creation\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 13: Creation by Chance\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 14: A Self-Existent Being\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 15: A Self-Existent Universe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 5: God and the Philosophers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 16: The God of the Philosophers and the God of the Bible\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 17: Kant’s Moral Argument\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 18: The Nihilists\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 19: The Psychology of Atheism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 6: The Case for Biblical Authority\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 20: The Authority of the Bible\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 21: Jesus’s Teaching About Scripture\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 22: The Trustworthiness of the Teaching of Jesus\u003cbr\u003e   Chapter 23: The Testimony of the Holy Spirit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR.
