From the classroom to the mainstream media, opponents of Christianity often discount the fundamental beliefs of the faith as being incompatible with reason. According to R. C. Sproul, skeptics have so often recited the "faith and reason are incompatible" mantra that many even within the church have come to believe it. In this book, Sproul sets forth the core claims of the faith, revealing just how rational Christianity–is demonstrating that reason and scientific inquiry actually serve as allies in defending them.
Concentrating on the two most strategic priorities of Christian apologetics–the existence of God and the authority of the Bible–this respected late theologian surveys streams of thought throughout history, uncovers the common ideologies that work against faith, and affirms four principles of knowledge that are essential for all legitimate discussion. Sproul's work provides a convincing, logical defense of the faith that will prove an indispensable resource for personal, small-group, or classroom study.
