Beyond Opinion

Beyond Opinion by Ravi Zacharias, Michael Ramsden, Amy Orr-Ewing, John Lennox, Alister McGrath and other members of the RZIM team

Respected apologist Ravi Zacharias was once sharing his faith with a Hindu when the man asked: "If the Christian faith is truly supernatural, why is it not more evident in the lives of so many Christians I know?" The question hit hard, and this book is an answer. Its purpose is to equip Christians everywhere to simultaneously defend the faith and be transformed by it into people of compassion. In addition to writing several chapters himself, Ravi Zacharias brings together many of today's leading apologists and Christian teachers, including Alister McGrath and John Lennox, to address topics present in the very future of worldwide Christianity-from the process of spiritual transformation to the challenges posed by militant atheism and a resurgent Islam. It includes chapters by Michael Ramsden, Amy Orr-Ewing, Joe Boot, John Lennox, Alister McGrath and other members of the RZIM team. Destined to become a classic, Beyond Opinion is a touchstone that will affect Christians around the world.

Bridge Building - Effective Christian Apologetics

Bridge Building - Effective Christian Apologetics by Alister McGrath

Communicating the gospel effectively is all about building bridges to those who do not share our faith. This, Alister McGrath maintains, is both a science and an art. Apologetics is a science, because it is vigorously grounded in Christianity, demonstrating and defending its truth. Equally, however, it is a craft - a creative attempt to marry the gospel proclamation with the needs and concerns of people. This book is a helpful tool for anyone interested in apologetics as well as those involved with preaching and evangelism.

Correcting the Cults

Correcting the Cults by Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes

Cries of the Heart

Until we learn that answer, "the cries of the heart will never find their rest, and God's outstretched hand will not meet ours."

Darwin on Trial

Darwin on Trial by Phillip Johnson

Deep Church

Deep Church by Amy and Frog Orr-Ewing

When C.S. Lewis was asked about his churchmanship, he replied that his preference was neighter for high church nor for low church, but rather for 'deep church'. In this book Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing explore the concept of deep church in the 21st century context. They argue that a missionary congregation needs to be deeply evangelical and evangelistic, deeply reliant on the power of the Holy Spirit, deeply engaged with its surrounding culture and community, deeply realistic about its limitations and temptations, and deeply convinced of its faith, in the face of all other worldviews and alternatives. Deep is about restoring the heart of the Christian faith within a rapidly changing and demanding culture, without lurching from one new methodology to another. It's about rescuing today's church from unnecessary disillusionment, and wholeheartedly embracing Christ and his Kingdom. The call of deep church is not just for theologians and church leaders; it is about each individual Christian experiencing and knowing that Jesus rescues from the depths and chnages them deeply.

Deliver Us From Evil

Deliver Us From Evil by Ravi Zacharias

In this insightful book, author Ravi Zacharias forcefully issues a grave warning to those nations "so imbued with strength, so splendidly attractive, so rich in resources" -and so blind to the source of evil dwelling in their midst. Zacharias writes that despite the wealth, advancements and intelligence of our western culture, we are "living with great philosophical risk, not pausing to uncover, even for a moment, the ramifications for the soul." Here you will find the common ground for what threatens all of us. And from that common ground the answers will become clear and inescapable. "Evil has taken on forms that shock the world." - WORD PUBLISHING

Doubt in Perspective

Doubt in Perspective by Alister McGrath

"Lord I believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24) perfectly captures the anxiety of many Christians. Doubt in Perspective addresses doubts that Christians experience, particularly within our postmodern culture. McGrath's perceptive account of the origins of doubt help us understand why doubt continues to trouble so many people. His powerful argument that all-world views, including atheism, ultimately involve unprovable beliefs is of especial importance in understanding doubt as a universal problem, not limited to Christians. This sensitive and accessible book is written in an engaging style, with many helpful, practical suggestions. Authored by a former atheist who is now one of Christianity's leading writers, it is a vital resource for any Christian plagued by doubt or wanting to help doubting friends.

God

God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? (1st EDITION) by John Lennox

If we believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science. In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully. Is it really true, he asks, that everything in science points towards atheism? Could it be possible that theism sits more comfortably with science than atheism? Has science buried God or Not? (John Lennox debated Richard Dawkins on this issue in October 2007). NB: This is the first edition of the book and is therefore discounted (for the revised edition see below)

How Should We Then Live? by Frances Shaeffer

From the RZIM recommended reading book list for apologetics we offer How Should We Then Live? In his renowned book, the late Francis Schaeffer analyzes the reasons for modern society's state of affairs and presents the only viable alternative: a life circumscribed by the Christian ethic, an acceptance of God's revelation, and a total affirmation of the Bible's truth, morals, values, and meaning.

How Then Shall We Answer?

How Then Shall We Answer? by Joe Boot

This book represents Joe Boot's summa apologetica. Bold, imaginative and instructive, it is written for a general audience rather than for a specialized one. The prose is remarkable not only for evident wisdom in the field of apologetics but also for the distinctive way the author does it. With various imageries and anecdotes, Joe provides a clear, engaging articulation of a fresh set of perspectives on several topics. Full of biblical and theological insights, and written with an evangelistic heart, this book serves to nourish the faithful, stimulate good arguments for the seeker and build a strong rational basis for the causative relation between faith and reason, the former being the presupposition of the latter. With rigor and relevance, Joe constitutes a seminal apologetic that enables readers to grasp the signs of divine transcendence, and to apprehend, or rather to be apprehended by the beauty of Christ.

Jesus Among Other Gods

Jesus Among Other Gods by Ravi Zacharias

The reality is that if religion is to be treated with intellectual respect, then it must stand the test of truth, regardless of the mood of the day. This book is a defense of the uniqueness of the Christian message. Thus begins Ravi's most important work to date in which he contrasts the truth of Jesus Christ with the teachings of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. In his latest book, Jesus Among Other Gods, Ravi examines the truly unique message of Jesus in distinction to other major religions of the world. Is Jesus Christ really that different from other religious teachers? Aren't all the major religions basically the same? Ravi looks at six vital questions that Jesus answered in a way that no other claimant to divine or prophetic status would have answered. Some may resist Jesus' answers, but, as Ravi states, "antagonists will not be able to challenge his uniqueness."

Jesus

Jesus' Resurrection - Fact or Figment? by William Lane Craig & Gerd Ludemann (debate between the two)

"and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless . . ." - I Corinthians 15:17 Just as the apostle Paul wrote, the issue of Jesus' resurrection is crucial for the Christian faith. If Jesus did physically rise from the dead, then skeptics have a huge problem on their hands. But if he did not, then Christians are left with a powerless faith. In this book, edited by RZIM ministry associate Paul Copan, Christian philosopher William Lane Craig debates atheistic New Testament scholar Gerd Ludemann regarding Jesus' resurrection. Was the resurrection an actual historical event, or a guilt-induced visionary experience of the disciples? This published version of the original debate held at Boston College features the responses of additional scholars on both sides of the issue, as well as post-debate comments by Dr. Craig and Dr. Ludemann.

Lies, Lies, Lies! by Michael Green

Green is not ashamed to call the misrepresentations about Jesus what they are - lies, lies, lies!

Telling the Truth - Evangelizing Postmoderns

Telling the Truth - Evangelizing Postmoderns by D.A. Carson (editor). 29 contributors including Ravi Zacharias

How do you communicate truth to a world that isn't sure what truth is - or even if truth is? How do you commend spiritual absolutes to people who insist there are none? If you've puzzled, even struggled, over such questions, this book is required reading. Telling the Truth provides informed insights on the heart of the gospel, the soul of postmodern culture, and their complex interface. This book is a compilation of thoughts and strategies from twenty-nine prominent practitioners of contemporary evangelism. Originating at a three-day conference held at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Telling the Truth draws on knowledge gained in the trenches by Ravi Zacharias, Kelly Monroe, D.A. Carson, Ajith Fernando, and other notables. It will open your eyes to how the contest for souls is fought, guerrilla style, at a multitude of fronts: relationships, the university, ethnicity, reason and emotion, the pulpit, communications - in short, the broad spectrum of human experience and values. Telling the Truth can help you lay the groundwork necessary to point biblically uninformed, postmodern men and women toward an encounter with non-negotiable truth - an absolute revealed in the Bible that points to the reality for sin and the need of a Saviour.

The Books The Church Supressed

The Books The Church Supressed by Michael Green

The Books The Church Supressed: Fiction and Truth in the Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code argues that the church has falsified the truth - that the story of Jesus, dying on the Cross for the sins of the world, is utterly untrue: a fiction perpetrated by a male, power-hungry hierarchy. He puts forward the case, previously argued in the eighties bestseller Holy Blood, Holy Grail, that the Church deliberately suppressed the so-called Gnostic Gospels and other sources in its anxiety to conceal what really happened. Brown's novel - based, he insists, on fact - suggests that Jesus survived to marry Mary Magdalene and that their descendants live in France to this day. Brown implies that the Bible is a late, distorted selection of documents chosen from among better alternatives by a clergy bent on selling a particular myth. Dr Michael Green goes back to the original sources to check these assertions. The Church certainly denounced many 'gospels' and other purported revelations. Why? What did it fear? Were these fears well-grounded? What are the implications of the ideas put forward by Dan Brown and his fellow-travellers? Can the famous Gnostic Gospels be trusted?

The Dawkins Delusion?

The Dawkins Delusion? by Alister McGrath with Joanna Collicutt McGrath

This eagerly anticipated book responds to world-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins who writes in "The God Delusion": "If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down." Dawkins' book has received wide coverage, fuelled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion. Alister McGrath is ideally placed to evaluate Dawkins' ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different conclusions about God. McGrath subjects Dawkins' critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny. His exhilarating, meticulously argued responses deals with questions such as: Is faith intellectual nonsense? Are science and religion locked in a battle to the death? Can the roots of Christianity be explained away scientifically? Is Christianity simply a force for evil? This book will be warmly received by those looking for a reliable assessment of "The God Delusion" and the many questions it raises - including, above all, the relevance of faith and the quest for meaning.

The End of Reason

The End of Reason by Ravi Zacharias

When you pray, are you talking to a God who exists? Or is God nothing more than your "imaginary friend," like a playmate contrived by a lonely and imaginative child? When author Sam Harris attacked Christianity in Letter to a Christian Nation, reviewers called the book "marvelous" and a generation of reader -- hundreds of thousands of them -- were drawn to his message. Deeply troubled, Dr. Ravi Zacharias knew that he had to respond. In The End of Reason, Zacharias underscores the dependability of the Bible along with his belief in the power and goodness of God. He confidently refutes Harris's claims that God is nothing more than a figment of one's imagination and that Christians regularly practice intolerance and hatred around the globe. A powerful, passionate, irrefutably sound set of arguments for Christian thought. The clarity and hope in these pages reach out to readers who know and follow God as well as to those who follow other paths.

The Grand Weaver

The Grand Weaver by Ravi Zacharias

How differently would we live if we believed that every dimension of our lives-from the happy to the tragic to the mundane-were part of a beautiful and purposeful design in which no thread were wrongly woven? That's what Ravi Zacharias explores in The Grand Weaver. As Christians, we believe that great events such as a death or a birth are guided by the hand of God. Yet we drift into feeling that our daily lives are the products of our own efforts. This book brims with penetrating stories and insights that show us otherwise. From a chance encounter in a ticket line to a beloved father's final word before dying, from a random phone call to a line in a Scripture reading, every detail of life is woven into its perfect place. In The Grand Weaver, Dr. Zacharias examines our backgrounds, our disappointments, our triumphs, and our beliefs, and explains how they are all part of the intentional and perfect work of the Grand Weaver.

The Science of God

The Science of God by Alister McGrath

How do science and theology interact? What can be gained by exploring Christian theology using the insights of the natural sciences? Can a synergy be found? Is there a defensible natural theology within the scope and framework of a revealed God? In The Science of God Professor McGrath outlines all the main ideas on Christian theology both philosophically and historically, discussing their relationship with the natural sciences. This unique approach results not simply in a traditional introduction to systematic theology, nor an introduction to the science versus religion debate, but in a highly readble guide to Christian theology as a systematic theology enriched by the natural sciences, conceived and presented as a legitimate and coherent intellectual discipline with its own sense of identity, place and purpose.

True for You but Not for Me

True for You but Not for Me by Paul Copan

In "True for You, But Not for Me," Paul Copan deals with some of the common slogans that Christians commonly hear but are often unable to intelligently answer: "That's true for you but not for me," "You shouldn't judge others," "Who are you to impose your morality on others?" or "Christians are intolerant of others." This book is a response to the corrosive influences of relativism and religious pluralism, which are challenges that believers will increasingly face. It helps the reader to probe the loaded assumptions behind these slogans. This user-friendly resource offers helpful summaries at the end of each chapter and discussion questions for study groups. Christian philosopher William Lane Craig says about the book: "This book is practical help for ordinary people bewildered by the cultural collapse we see all around us. Intellectually sound, yet popularly written, "True for You, But Not for Me" tackles what is undoubtedly one of our culture's most significant challenges to Christianity: a disbelief in objective statements about truth, values, and God."

Walking from East to West

Walking from East to West by Ravi Zacharias

For more than three decades, apologist Ravi Zacharias has shared bits and pieces of his personal life and experience. Now in Walking from East to West he invites readers to follow him on a journey through his life: to see and smell the neighborhood in India where he grew up, to feel a mother's love and the consternation of a harsh father . . . and the lure of a rebellious soul. In a crisis experience, Zacharias exchanged pantheism for monotheism, and meaninglessness for true fulfillment in Christ. He has traveled from the East to the West, and then back again to answer skeptics' penetrating questions about the meaning of life and the existence of a God who is there for his children. Zacharias invites readers to follow him on this journey through his life and into the lives of others, and to see how he has become more convinced with each year that Jesus Christ is the one who came to give us life to the fullest.
