Is Christianity still intellectually defensible in an age of scepticism? This book tackles the most common arguments against the Christian faith, engaging with challenges from textual criticism, history, philosophy, and morality.

It examines the reliability of the Bible, addressing claims of textual corruption and historical inaccuracy. It explores the philosophical foundations of belief, responding to atheistic and agnostic objections. It also confronts moral arguments against Christianity, such as the problem of evil and accusations of religious harm.

With careful analysis and reasoned argument, "A Christian Responds" presents a case for Christianity as not only historically credible but also philosophically and morally compelling. This book is an invitation to examine the evidence and consider the truth of the Christian message.

Invisible Line by skyline-freedom
48 parts Ongoing Mature
For this book, I could never expect many people to read it. But this book could be written by my own experiences. It is full of politic, cultural thinking, or thoughts on value attitude. It may is shown in chaotic ways. Yes, it is right, just like what we think or behave in this world I feel lost sometimes and then be organized, later turn into chaos again. In this time, many of us could miss the classic life style in the past time. But we have to say chaos has become a part of our life especially when invisible lines begin to appear constantly or show more power in this era. The process of writing this book is also the process of author achieve his own peace, admittedly getting peaceful has become the most luxury thing in this increasingly chaotic world. These invisible lines could never give people this. I know these lines will be crossed or stepped by the power of real freedom. At least, the author know that he could never see that happen. But at least one person like me will expose it and give hints for people to find these lines, the power behind them, combat them and succeed finally. Yes, maybe we lose freedom finally no matter we pursue it how hard, at least we achieve it with our full heart. One day when we leave, we could say we may be not the person give the whole light to this world, at least, we have been the person holding the torch to myself and people around me, the reader. Maybe I am not strong enough like the brave ancestors beating those who hiding the truth, making fool of people for keeping their power. But at least, I could stand out for telling the truth. After reading, you may have different understanding of what are these invisible lines. But you know they are indeed existent in your daily life. But I have to tell you they may become more powerful when you realize their existence just like what they do to me. They strengthen their power to people who have been awake.
Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity by SamuelGan
35 parts Complete
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from a layperson point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that are once again, academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like 'A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity', this book is the result of a single individual's search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are at best 'arm-chair theology' and are therefore meant to be easily understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.
The Audacity of Grace: Jesus Atonement for All by Will88964
18 parts Complete
This book is a deep dive into the ocean of Christian theology, specifically focusing on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It's not just a rehash of old ideas, though. It takes a fresh look at the age-old question: did Jesus die for everyone, or just a select few? The author starts by laying a solid foundation, explaining the problem of sin and how it separates us from God. Then they introduce the Old Testament sacrificial system, showing how it foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. But the real meat of the book is its exploration of Jesus' life and work. The author unpacks the mind-blowing concept of the Incarnation - God becoming human - and shows how Jesus' sinless life and sacrificial death on the cross bridged the gap between us and God. And don't worry, it's not all just theological jargon. The author does a great job of explaining complex ideas in a clear and engaging way. They use vivid imagery and relatable examples to help us grasp the profound truths of the Atonement. The book also takes us on a fascinating tour through church history, showing how theologians throughout the ages have wrestled with the scope of the Atonement. It's a reminder that these questions aren't new; Christians have been grappling with them for centuries. But the book doesn't just leave us with head knowledge. It also explores the practical implications of the Atonement for our lives and for the mission of the Church. It challenges us to live in light of the cross, to extend forgiveness, to pursue social justice, and to share the good news of God's love with the world. In short, this book is an invitation to rediscover the heart of the Christian faith, to be awed by the audacity of God's love, and to be transformed by the power of the cross. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Atonement and its implications for our lives and our world.
A Psychological Guide to the Absolute Authority of the Word of God by SamuelGan
15 parts Complete
What has the field of psychology got to do with the Bible? Can it shed light on certain events in the Bible? Does it undermine the Bible and the teachings therein? Are there any secular psychology publications that can affirm Biblical events or teachings? Can psychology be used as an evangelistic tool? And has psychology been abused to justify unbiblical practices and concepts like demonology? As knowledge in the sciences grow, unbiblical interpretations flooded and will continue to flood the various disciplines. Psychology is a field that can study and affirm biblical teachings in areas where the other sciences cannot. To show this, the articles in the book leverage on modern day psychology understanding to illustrate the effects of the Fall and its effects on our understanding of God's Word. Topics include the "Psychology of Evil", introspection, and psychological understanding of languages, all to show how the Word of God, as recorded in the preserved texts of the Holy Scriptures, can be applied to our lives. Most importantly, the articles also aim to highlight that it is only with the Scriptures, can psychological findings make sense. The articles in the book expand on certain concepts and arguments previously mentioned in the previous books by the author: "A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity", "Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity", as well as "A Guide to the Biblical Lands: Jordan and Israel".
The Interesting Book: Deeper Conversation With God by abrilowens
24 parts Complete
"The Cave You Fear To Enter Hold The Treasure You Seek." Are you someone who believes in something beyond our understanding-a person who says, "There's something out there, but we won't know it until we can"? Who told you that the "right moment" even exists when time itself is a construct created by humans? Honestly, I'd suggest you put this book down and not waste your time, because everyone has their own "right time" to understand what I'm trying to convey here. I recorded myself while talking about things I had never even heard of before as a non religious person with lacking GOD concept. . It was me, yet it felt like an upgraded version of myself guiding me to develop further. This version of me presented an option: What if everything you know, everything you've been, and everything you've labeled could be erased, allowing you to start over and build a completely new sense of self? HER said, "If you're not ready to understand who I am and what I'm trying to say, then 'QUIT.' Because it took immense time, pain, and experience for you to endure and evolve to reach me and sustain this communication." And so, I did. The book you'll be reading is a transcript of the audio I recorded. Interestingly, it resembles a religious text-though, believe me, I didn't intend it to. It just happened. Later, I searched for the first "God word" that corresponded with specific numbers through the transcripts, and I discovered connections to related verses across 12 major global religions, smaller religions, indigenous beliefs, new religious movements, denominations, and sects which you will find them in the book. But here's the truth: everyone is capable of understanding-once they reach the right intellectual and spiritual evolution. I assume you've decided to stay. So, what if I told you that to truly be born into real reality, you must first experience a kind of death?....
Artificial Intelligence Faith Challenge - Interview with AI by SerdalOkur
1 part Complete
In a world where artificial intelligence now embodies the vast knowledge accumulated by humanity, can it provide meaningful insights into faith? This book is not a single person's perspective but a unique interview with AI tools, exploring their responses to profound religious questions. It begins with a bold challenge found in the Quran-God's invitation for skeptics to produce a chapter like it if they doubt its divine origin. From this starting point, the discussion expands into a comparison of major faiths, theological debates, and the evolving role of AI in shaping spiritual beliefs. As AI becomes an increasingly integral part of human knowledge and decision-making, can it influence faith, challenge long-held doctrines, or simply serve as a mirror reflecting human understanding? Through this dialogue, the book navigates the intersection of technology and spirituality, inviting readers to contemplate AI's profound effects on religion and belief in future generations? Some of the interesting question answered here are: - what are the miracles associated with Quran? - are there similar miracles in Torah and Bible? - would do rather choose Islam due to these miracles if you were a human? - what percentage would you think that Islam was divine? - would you also consider becoming Atheist? - are your answers biased based on my questions? do you give same answers to Jews or Christians? - does that mean your final answer for "which religion would you choose" would be different based on the faith of person who asks? - how about Buddhism and similar faiths compared to Islam? would you choose any of them rather? - what would be your most likely choice?
A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy and Thoughts of Christianity by SamuelGan
29 parts Complete
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it logical to believe in one? There are so many claims by so many religions, so which is real and logical? Religious sects cannot even agree amongst themselves on doctrines, how can there be a One true divine being then? Why do Christians believe this? Can 'evolution' and 'God' co-exist? This book uses logic and modern day examples to explain the numerous questions that may flood atheists, agnostics and Christians alike. The first section deals with the logic of a divine being, the second deals with specific issues in Christianity, and the third section contains some of the personal psalms and reflections on things that a Christian might face and struggle. Each section contains a collection of articles, some academic, some reflective, and some argumentative. As society progresses in the direction of science and technology, logic and scientific validation plays an increasing role in everyday thought processes. In the scientific and logical world, religion, faith, and beliefs get continuously challenged. Many once-faithful Christians may begin to question their Christian beliefs, or get confused on the validity of the numerous doctrines and teachings of various Christian sects. Similarly, the agnostic is thrown into confusion amongst the claims of many religions and their sects on the 'Truth'. On the other end of the spectrum, the hard-core atheist begins to question the intelligence of more than 50 % of the world population that believe in some sort of divine being(s). The book utilizes logical arguments, and expositions of modern day examples in hopes to bring a clearer picture to issues dealing with a divine creator, the search for the truth, and certain issues in Christianity.
