I read these two booklets to determine if they were presenting a case for the celebration of Christmas and Easter. There are those who sometimes question whether or not we, as Christians, should participate in the commemoration of those two holidays given their somewhat pagan beginnings and their worldly celebration today. However, that was not […]

Already Gone
Ken Ham has become one of the best defenders of a literal and recent creation as described in Genesis. His Answers in Genesis organization and his Creation Museum are doing the church a great service in our day of atheism and evolution. In this volume, Britt Beemer provides the survey material. I have a mixed […]
The Defense of the Gospel in the New Tes...
(This is a guest review by Doug Kutilek which also appears in his online paper “As I See It”) In this small but excellent book, we have the substance of 5 lectures delivered by the late acclaimed Pauline scholar F. F. Bruce in 1958 at Calvin College. The theme of these lectures is the Apostolic […]
To Everyone an Answer
It is a series of essays written in honor of Norman Geisler and his contribution to apologetics. The contributors include William Lane Craig, Francis Beckwith, William Dembski, Ravi Zacharias, Douglas Groothuis and others. Its five sections are: Faith Reason and the Necessity for God’s Existence; Christ and Miracles; Philosophical and Cultural Challenges to Christian Faith; […]
Heritage of Evidence in the British Muse...
Thanks to our missionary Russ Ivison for bringing this book to my attention. Peter Masters has put together a book-guided tour of those parts of the British Museum that substantiate Biblical history. The book contains pictures of various artifacts as well as diagrams of the lay-out of the museum’s halls. Copies can be bought online […]
Darwin’s Black Box
How many times have you engaged in a conversation with someone who cannot accept the idea of Creation because it is not “scientific”? Have you sat under a biology or chemistry professor who “proved’ evolution by matching monkey parts to modern men and wished you had a credible, scientific rebuttal? Unfortunately, as Christians we often […]
Genesis 1:1: Still the Last Word
Intelligent Design presents the idea as a whole new area of science wherein the researchers base findings on the premise that some form of design was the origin for empirical discoveries. Author William Dembski clearly states that this is not the same as Creation science (faith based) or theistic evolution, which often includes the idea […]
Know WHAT You Believe
This easy to read book is good for believers who wish to think through the basic doctrines of the faith. It is not so much an apologetic as an identification of fundamental Christian doctrines along with some points to ponder concerning each one. It does not defend particular positions but rather presents various articles of […]
Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologet...
I am simply reporting on this 1999, 841 page reference book. I am not claiming to have read every entry! I have always enjoyed Geisler and appreciated his many contributions to philosophy, theology and apologetics. I also find myself reading in the field of apologetics because the ministry is very much a defense of what […]
Engaging the Closed Mind
I was not acquainted with Dan Story but I was personally involved in defending my faith when I found and read this book. It was one of the most helpful things I read at that time. The sub-title of the book is “Presenting your faith to the confirmed unbeliever.” Story draws on much experience at […]
