In this modern classic, F.F. Bruce provides a thorough examination of the New Testament documents, exploring their date and attestation, the canon of the New Testament, the nature of the Gospels, the life and writings of Paul, and evidence from archaeology, early Jewish writings, and early Gentile writings. Bruce argues that the New Testament documents are historically reliable, emphasizing that they enjoy a wealth of good textual attestation unparalleled in ancient literature. The book is written from a historical perspective, addressing the reliability rather than the authority of the New Testament.
For more than forty years, *The Universe Next Door* has set the standard for introducing worldviews. James Sire uses his widely influential model of eight basic worldview questions to examine worldviews such as theism, deism, naturalism, Marxism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, New Age philosophy, postmodernism, and Islam. The book critiques each worldview within its own frame of reference and in comparison to others, providing an overview of intellectual history and insight into Western thought and culture. The sixth edition, updated by Jim Hoover, includes new explanatory sidebars, charts, and a chapter on challenges to a Christian worldview in the twenty-first century.
In 'Making Sense of God,' Timothy Keller addresses skeptics of Christianity, arguing that the faith is more relevant and logically consistent than often perceived. The book is divided into three parts: 'Why Does Anyone Need Religion?', 'Religion Is More Than You Think It Is', and 'Christianity Makes Sense.' Keller compares and contrasts religious and secular beliefs, examining their emotional, cultural, and rational implications. He discusses topics such as meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope, showing how Christianity provides rich resources to address these fundamental human needs. The book is written to engage both skeptics and believers, encouraging honest consideration of the Christian worldview[1][2][4].
