As a columnist for the New York Times who writes often about spiritual topics for a skeptical audience, Ross Douthat understands that many of us—whether we are agnostic, somewhat religious, or longtime believers—want to have more faith than we do. But we think we can't believe the way our ancestors did, knowing what we know now—can we? With clear and straightforward arguments, Believe shows how religious belief makes sense of the order of the cosmos and our place within it, illuminates the mystery of consciousness, and explains the persistent reality of encounters with the supernatural.

This groundbreaking book propels us out of our loneliness and into the freedom that comes from believing in something outside of ourselves, resting in a love that doesn't have to do with our moods, and knowing an eternal truth greater than any "authenticity" masquerading as our savior.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet most people struggle to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic theological work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. Drawing from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, he paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy.

Gavin Ortlund draws from both his scholarly work in church history and his personal experience in ecumenical engagement to offer a powerful defense of the Protestant tradition. Retrieving classical Protestant texts and arguments, he exposes how many of the contemporary objections leveled against Protestants are rooted in caricature.

Editors Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath gather other intelligent minds from around the world to share their startling commonality: Richard Dawkins and his fellow New Atheists were instrumental in their conversions to Christianity. Despite a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, all are united in the fact that they were first enthusiasts for the claims and writings of the New Atheists. But each became disillusioned by the arguments and conclusions of Dawkins, causing them to look deeper and with more objectivity at religious faith.

Living as a Black woman in America, Lisa Victoria Fields understands the tension of relying on God in a broken world. While pursuing her calling in full-time Christian ministry—an often white, male-dominated vocation—she saw the contentions many people have with Christianity. She heard the theological questions, but instead of arguing for her faith, she listened to the barriers and heard the pain in their hearts: I’m not welcomed or wanted. There is no justice in this world. God didn't intervene and protect me. Doesn’t God want me to be happy?

Our approach to apologetics needs to change when the very idea of “truth” is controversial. But as authors Daniel Blackaby and Mike Blackaby teach us, we can still reach people if we understand what they value most.

My prayer to the one true, almighty God, of whom, and through whom, and in whom are all things, has been, and is now, that in opposing and refuting the heresy of you Manichæans, as you may after all be heretics more from thoughtlessness than from malice, He would give me a mind calm and composed, and aiming at your recovery rather than at your discomfiture. For while the Lord, by His servants, overthrows the kingdoms of error, His will concerning erring men, as far as they are men, is that they should be amended rather than destroyed. And in every case where, previous to the final judgment...

“Lying thus in the presence of Jesus on the cross, I seemed to die to every earthly thing. At the same time, I committed to Jesus my all, my body, my sicknesses/health, I fully turned over to Jesus to trust Him in through life and through death.” - Harrold Armstrong Baker –Who is this Jesus? He is the Alpha and the Omega; He is the visible manifestation of the invisible God, the Father. Jesus is the first and the last; and He is the Almighty. The "Savior” Jesus Christ is God. The one who sits on the throne in heaven is Jesus, the Lamb. The Savior Jesus Christ is our great God; He is...

Nearly 6,000 years ago, the world's cleverest dragon reasoned with a woman in a garden. What he told her is what his followers are still telling anyone naive enough to believe that God lies ... and dragons tell the truth.

The veil was not the only thing that Christ's arrival on earth tore asunder. The influence that Christ had on the men in His day has been celebrated for two millennia. The overlooked question within mainstream Christianity is: What influence did He have upon women, and what statements did His words and actions make in relation to gender equality? The proof is in the Word of God, and in the proper contextual analysis of it.

Jesus, as a man walked among men and set an example for all men to follow. What He taught, men were to believe. The way He acted, men were to act. The humble life Jesus lived was the humble life His children in His family were to live. Jesus was a man, and a perfect man. Why did Jesus have to be fully man when he was fully God? In this companion thesis to JESUS as GOD, which also should be read. A correct understanding of what the Bible teaches about Jesus as God, and what the Bible teaches about Jesus as a man (Heb. 1:17), is essential to becoming one of the "brethren like Jesus" in every ...
