C. S. Lewis has written that, "when you turn from the New Testament to modern scholars, remember that you go among them as a sheep among wolves. Naturalistic assumptions, beggings of the question . . . will meet you on every side--even from the pens of clergymen. . . . In using the books of such peo...

See excerpts from Richard M. Riss, A Survey of 20th-Century Revival Movements in North America (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson Publishers, 1988), as follows: Introduction: pp. 1-7Early Awakenings: pp. 7-11The Great Awakening: pp. 11-12The Second Evangelical Awakening and other 19th Century revivals: p...

The Christian Origin of Science becomes quite clear when we study the history of science, and we see that until very recently, scientists interpreted the data in light of the Bible. Until the time of Darwin, biologists were creationists, and until the time of Charles Leyell, geological data were int...

Another powerful testimony to the truth of the Christian Gospel is the fact that millions of people's lives have been changed radically by the power of Christ. Alcoholics have been delivered, drug dependencies have been cured, cowards have found courage, and selfish people have found new meaning in ...

Josephus (A.D. 37-c.100) stated that, in the country called Carroe, there were "in it the remains of the ark, wherein it is related that Noah escaped the deluge, and where they are still shown to such as are desirous to see them."1 Elsewhere, Josephus wrote: However, the Armenians call this place ,...

Twentieth-century philosophers usually consider David Hume's essay, "Of Miracles," to have dealt the decisive death-blow to any belief either in the supernatural or in the miracles of the Bible. This essay appears as the tenth section of Hume's treatise, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, or...

As we have already seen, if we reject the claim of the Bible to historical accuracy, then we are beset with an imposing set of difficulties arising from the interpenetration of Biblical history with secular history, both in the past and in the present. History does not take place in a vacuum. The Bi...

It should be evident from the foregoing study of God's judgement upon sin in history that Biblical principles have been in effect, not just during the time that the Bible was written, but at all times. Further evidence of this is available in any study of the providence of God in history. Some of th...

Miracles became so commonplace in the late twentieth century that the antisupernaturalistic world view that was predominant for most of that century eventually gave way to a less dogmatic consensus on this question among many scholars. A large proportion of these phenomena took place either in third...

The fulfillment of the prophecies of the Bible is a vast subject. In fact, the Messianic prophecies alone have provided enough material for the publication of many books. Other books have been written solely about the Old Testament prophecies concerning certain cities or about certain world empires,...

If Satan exists, then we have powerful evidence for the validity of the Scriptural claims concerning supernatural activity. The demonic activity that has taken place in all ages is a testimony to the existence of a powerful spiritual force opposed to God. There are references to Satanic activity in ...

Of course, Jesus is not the only one who attests to His divinity. All of the Scriptures attest to it. In fact, the Hebrew prophets expected the Messiah to be God. Isaiah 9:6 says: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be cal...
