ED HANDBOOK OF COUNTER-ARGUMENTS TO SKEPTICAL CLAIMS
By Steven H. Propp
Norman Geisler is a famed apologist and theologian. The companion volume to this book is When Critics Ask: A Popular Handbook on Bible Difficulties. He has written/cowritten many other books such as Philosophy of Religion, Christian Apologetics, Introduction to Philosophy: A Christian Perspective, Systematic Theology, etc. Co-author Ron Brooks has also written Christianity Under Attack: a Study Guide.They wrote in the first chapter of this 1990 book, “The objections that unbelievers raise are usually not trivial. They often cut deep into the heart of the Christian faith and challenge its very foundations. If miracles are not possible, then why should be believe Christ was God? If God can’t control evil, is He really worthy of worship? Face it: if these objections can’t be answered, then we may as well believe in fairy tales. These are reasonable questions which deserve reasonable answers… Fortunately, Christian thinkers have been answering these questions ever since Paul’s time, and we can draw on their knowledge to help us find the answers we want… Unbelievers have good questions. Christianity has good answers. And God had told us to give them the answers they are looking for. Not everyone has deep philosophical questions, and God never guarantees our success… But He has told us to be ready. That is what this book is all about.” (Pg. 11, 14)About the argument that “God could have created free creatures who would sin, but would all be saved in the end,” they comment, “This option … [assumes] that God can manipulate human freedom to choose good… But this view does not take seriously the biblical teaching that hell is real for some. Such a view suggests that God will save individuals no matter what He has to do. But we must remember that He cannot force them to love Him. Forced love is rape; and God is not a divine rapist. He will not do anything to coerce their decision. God will not save men at any cost. He respects their freedom and concurs with their choice. He is not a puppet master, but a lover wooing men to Himself.” (Pg. 72-73)They argue, “There are real problems in the Bible, but there are also real answers to those difficult passages… the burden of proof rests on the critics. We have very good reasons to believe that the Bible tells the truth since there is good evidence that the WHOLE Bible is inspired by God… As long as we show that there is a POSSIBLE solution—that their objection ‘ain’t necessarily so’—then the conflict has been resolved. Like any American citizen, the Bible should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.” (Pg. 163)They state, “it is valid science to look for intelligent primary causes to events that show signs of intelligence. Archaeologists do it all the time… Second, present experience tells us that an intelligent cause should be sought wherever we find specified complexity. This gives us a criteria to show when an intelligent cause is operating and when it is not.” (Pg. 217-218)This book is one of the most significant modern apologetic works, and will be of great interest to anyone studying apologetics.

Heady stuff
By Tracy R.
Some of the best answers to head-on direct questions about the Christian faith. The unchurched public is asking these questions now. Christians should be equipped with answers. Love it.
