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...

B. B. Warfield has observed that "the church has always believed her Scriptures to be the book of God, of which God was in such a sense the author that every one of its affirmations of whatever kind is to be esteemed as the utterance of God, of infallible truth and authority."1 Although Warfield's o...

No book has ever been the subject of more continued attacks upon it than the Bible. Despite the assaults mounted upon it for millennia, it has emerged unscathed. F. Bettex of Stuttgart, Germany has written: Unchanged and unchangeable, this Bible stands for centuries, unconcerned about the praise an...

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...

According to the New Testament, nobody can be saved apart from Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, John 14:6), and those who do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah will die in their sins (John 8:24). What, then, is the eternal destiny of those who have never heard about Jesus, the savior of the world? The te...

Many theologians suggest that whatever truth may be found in the Bible is relative to the world view of the culture in which it was written. According to them, God has accommodated himself to the mistaken notions of the ancient Near East in His communication to us through the Bible. This viewpoint w...

Some people attempt to distinguish between factual and religious truth in the Bible. For many of them, religious matters, or matters of "faith and practice," are considered infallible, while other matters are subject to error. However, this approach is inconsistent with that taken by the Scriptures ...

During the course of the history of Israel, the authors of the Old Testament made constant references to the portions of the Hebrew Scriptures that had already been written. From these citations, it is easy to demonstrate that the Old Testament treats itself as "the written record of the words of Go...

If the theory of evolution is correct, then death did not come by Adam as Paul states in his epistles; rather, death is the mechanism by which man has evolved. The theory of natural selection is dependent upon the assumption that there was death in the world before the appearance of man and that dea...

As Christians, we are enjoined in I Peter 3:15 to sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts, always being ready to make a defense to every one who asks us to give an account for the hope that is in us, yet with gentleness and reverence. The word "apologetics" is taken from the Greek word , translated "d...

The problem of presuppositions will be treated in a later chapter, but it is important to note that if one presupposes that miracles do not occur, then even a great deal of evidence to the contrary can be dismissed, since people are not apt to give serious consideration to things that do not fit int...

The subject of Biblical archaeology is a vast one, so it will be necessary to confine comments here to only a few of the multitude of cases in which archaeological discoveries have vindicated Biblical claims. At many times in the past, scholars have assumed the Bible to be inaccurate until new archa...
