When the apostle Paul spoke to the ancient Greek philosophers at the Areopagus in Athens he made reference to an altar which had on it an inscription TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Paul said that he was making this God known to them. The altar engraved with this inscription had a history behind it, of which bot...

In discussing his apologetic method, C. S. Lewis once stated that he usually found the aut Deus aut malus homo quite useful in demonstrating the validity of Christ's claims.1 The argument, which is summed up in this Latin phrase ("Either God or a bad man"), points out that, if Christ's claims were f...

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 ...

It is sometimes argued that, since all of the world's major religions hold to similar systems of morality, it doesn't really matter which religion you hold to, as long as you hold to one of them. They all lead to the same place. On the other hand, it is also sometimes argued that there cannot be any...

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...

If a person has been presented with good evidence for Christian truth, there may or may not be a conversion to Christianity. There is usually a struggle on a volitional level or on an emotional level. C. S. Lewis writes: He is deliberately trying not to know whether Christianity is true or false, b...

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 ...

According to the New Testament accounts, Jesus, during His ministry, often predicted that He would be raised from the dead (see John 10:17; Luke 9:22, 11:29,30, 16:31, 18:33; Mark 8:31, 9:9, 9:31, 10:34, 14:28; Matt. 16:4, 16:21, 17:9, 17:23, 20:19, 26:32, 27:63). He offered His future resurrection ...

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...

In seventeenth and eighteenth century Europe, a great deal of emphasis began to be placed upon reason as the primary criterion to be used in the determination of truth. Prior to this time, revelation, as given to us in the Scriptures, was considered to be the means by which truth was determined. Esp...

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...
