The Apologist‘s Bookshelf

The Reason for God | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Tim Keller's book, The Reason for God, was a New York Times bestseller. This is the second podcast I have devoted to the book, this time focusing on the difficult issue of evil and suffering existing in a Christian worldview that says God is good.

The Atheist Delusion | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

Phil Fernandes, noted speaker and author, wrote this book as a response to the New Atheists Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. The chapter I cover deals with the issue of whether Jesus claimed to be God.

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.

Christianity For People Who Aren’t Christians | The Apologist’s Bookshelf

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.
