The Apologist‘s Bookshelf

Should Christians Be Environmentalists? | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Dan Story is the author of several clear and compelling books. In this one, I look at his chapter on whether Christianity is responsible for environmental degradation and how other religions have handled environment issues.

Under the Influence | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

This book, now renamed How Christianity Changed the World, tells of the many blessings Christianity has brought to humanity. Today's podcast looks at ways Christianity influenced education for the better.

So What’s the Difference? | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Resurrection | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

I'm continuing with two podcasts per week. For this one I review a couple of chapters in Hank Hanegraaff's book Resurrection--the existence of the soul and the concept of reincarnation.

The Faith | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Because there is so much good information available in apologetics books,  I am switching to creating two podcasts a week--one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. I hope the extra material will be helpful to you. For this podcast I go back to Chuck Colson's book The Faith and discuss his chapter on truth, how it's been lost today, and its importance to Christianity. The second podcast of the week will be available Saturday. Hope the new format will be useful.

In one of his chapters, James Emery White deals with five issues that people complain about when they consider Christianity--legalism, judgmentalism, hypocrisy, intolerance, and sexism.

Immortal | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

In chapter 4 of his book, Clay Jones discusses various ways non-believers try to cope with the reality of death--"Immortality would be boring," "Death is necessary for life to go on," "Death is nothing," "Live a detached life," "Our particles go on," . . . He shows how ineffective these are.

This is a good book because it doesn't just complain about our society. Instead, the author offers a chapter that explains how we can drive out a bad worldview by offering a better one.

God’s Undertaker | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

John Lennox discusses DNA and information processing in the cell. The key question is simple--How did  the genetic code , along with the mechanisms for its translation, originate? Without the existence of a creator, it seems impossible to answer the question.

Cold-Case Christianity | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

How early were the gospels? If they were close to the time of Jesus, there would be little chance that myth and errors could creep in. I'm covering a chapter in Wallace's book that discusses this important question.
