Reasonable Faith, Third Edition: Christian Truth and Apologetics (audio)

J. Gresham Machen once said, “False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the gospel”­­—which makes apologetics that much more important. Wanting to engage not just academics and pastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology. His approach—that of positive apologetics—gives careful attention to crucial questions and concerns, including the relationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, the problems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claims of Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. He shows that there is good reason to think Christianity is true. As Craig says, “If you have a sound and persuasive case for Christianity, you don’t have to become an expert in comparative religions and Christian cults. A positive justification of the Christian faith automatically overwhelms all competing world views lacking an equally strong case.” “An enormous treat. Not a single student of apologetics should miss this volume by a major scholar.” “Craig is both an absolutely topnotch, world-class scholar and a man with a warm heart for apologetics and evangelism. This astute book combines both passions … Bravo!” “William Lane Craig is arguably one of the finest Christian philosophers of our time.” “The third edition of William Lane Craig’s Reasonable Faith is simply a masterpiece … Indispensible.” “Simply the finest Christian apologist of the last half century … I do not know of a single thinker who has done more to raise the bar of Christian scholarship in our generation than Craig.” “The gold standard for apologetics texts.”
