Synopsis

It can be difficult to answer questions about the Christian faith-even for Christians who regularly read their Bibles and attend church. What can they say to a skeptic who questions Christian doctrine or truth claims? What about young Christians who want answers to their tough questions?

Without a Doubt covers questions on everything from the doctrine of the incarnation to religious pluralism, from evolution to moral relativism, with rational answers for even the most stubborn skeptic. Chapters contain charts, relevant biblical texts, and outlines to help readers grasp key ideas relevant to proclaiming the gospel to an unbeliever or discussing doctrine with another Christian.

From the Back Cover

Always be prepared to give an answer.

One of the unique aspects of Christianity is that it stands up to honest intellectual scrutiny. Without a Doubt offers solid, succinct answers to twenty classic questions that challenge the Christian faith, including:

-God's existence
-creation and the universe
-the historical veracity of Scripture
-Jesus Christ's true identity
-God as Trinity
-faith vs. science
-God and evil
-Christianity and other religions

Authorities ranging from prophets and philosophers to scientists and the Scriptures provide rational explanations and compelling evidence for those who have questions about their faith or question faith altogether.


"Samples exhibits the virtues of charity and intellectual integrity along with a deep understanding of the sorts of challenges to the Christian faith that are offered in our contemporary world and must be met by the serious Christian. Without a Doubt is a wonderful work."--Francis J. Beckwith, Baylor University, author of Relativism

"Without a Doubt fills a specific void in the apologetic literature. It brings together very careful research with a reader-friendly style. A great read for anyone interested in answers to some of life's most puzzling questions."--J. P. Moreland, Talbot School of Theology, author of Love Your God with All Your Mind

"Rarely does one find such an array of issues and quality responses under one cover, all ready for personal use or in addressing questions or challenges."--Gary R. Habermas, Liberty University, author of The Historical Jesus
