The benefit for the reader, however, is that each one is described in simple terms. By now, those familiar with Craig’s public debates realize that these are all of the arguments he uses in his usual cumulative case for God’s existence. In chapter six, Can We Be Good Without God?, Craig details the moral argument. In addition to the main points of the argument, Craig provides a response to Dawkins’ popular objection to the argument. Chapter five, Why is the Universe Fine-Tuned for Life?, presents the teleological argument for the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life. Argument maps follow this chapter (and others) and provide a pro/con arguments and responses for the main points and premises of the argument. This is a welcome personal touch and compliments the book nicely.Ĭhapter four, Why Did the Universe Begin?, lays out the Kalam Cosmological argument with philosophical and scientific support for its premises. The interlude resumes and concludes later between chapters seven and eight. Between chapters three and four is an interlude – A Philosopher’s Journey of Faith – in which Craig shares his personal testimony and charts the path his studies took. In chapter three, Why Does Anything At All Exist?, Craig presents the first argument for God’s existence, the Leibnizian Cosmological Argument. Chapter two opens the question of What Difference Does it Make if God Exists?, in which he explores the absurdity of life without God. Craig begins in chapter one by defining apologetics and describing its importance. They will discover not just what they believe, but why they believe-and how being on guard with the truth has the power to change lives forever.For those familiar with Craig’s signature book Reasonable Faith, some of the main topics and arrangement are very similar. This one-stop, how-to-defend-your-faith manual will equip Christians to advance faith conversations deliberately, applying straightforward, cool-headed arguments.
Along the way, he shares his story of following God’s call in his own life. Craig offers four arguments for God’s existence, defends the historicity of Jesus’ personal claims and resurrection, addresses the problem of suffering, and shows why religious relativism doesn’t work. This concise guide is filled with illustrations, sidebars, and memorizable steps to help Christians stand their ground and defend their faith with reason and precision. Renowned scholar William Lane Craig offers a readable, rich training manual for defending the Christian faith. Prior owner name embossed on title page, otherwise looks near new.
