Guillaume Bignon was a French atheist . . . and he was perfectly happy. He was very successful as a software engineer in finance, a musician, and a volleyball player. Yet a chance encounter with a beautiful woman would change the way he thought about his life and beliefs forever. Confessions of a French Atheist is the unusual story of Guillaume Bignon - a man who didn't need God but who grew to believe in God after he thought through the nature of morality, the relationship between science and faith, the supernatural, and the reliability of the Bible.

Is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ really history—or is it treated differently because of what it implies? Every day, students, scholars, and readers accept the events of ancient history with little hesitation. Alexander the Great’s conquests, Julius Caesar’s campaigns, the rise of Rome, and the teachings of ancient philosophers are all considered settled facts—even though the evidence for them is often distant, fragmentary, and preserved only through copies made centuries later. Yet when the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is examined, the rules suddenly change. In If the ...

For many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions have tended toward the extremes—ignore problem passages and pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as though they are the only thing that matters. Now with clarity of purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture as a whole, Tremper Longman confronts pressing questions of concern to modern audiences.

In Signposts to God, particle physicist Peter Bussey introduces listeners to the mysteries of modern physics and astronomy. Authored in clear, accessible prose, Bussey provides a primer on topics such as the laws of nature, quantum physics, fine-tuning, and current cosmological models. Bussey argues that, far from ruling out a divine creator, modern physics and astronomy present us with compelling signposts to God. The more we know about the cosmos and our presence in it, the more plausible belief in God becomes.

Today, forces are at work to strip the principles and precepts of faith from public venues or minimize their significance. Many progressive leaders are convinced that when Christianity disintegrates, it will create peace on earth.

In Hope for This Present Crisis, Dr. Youssef provides a diagnosis of the insanity of the current culture and a seven-step prescription for restoring sanity to a world gone mad.

Bloodlines of Rebellion — A Hidden War in Scripture From the first pages of Genesis, the Bible quietly reveals that humanity’s story is about far more than sin and salvation alone. It is also the story of a hidden war—a war over what it means to be human, and over the bloodline that would one day bring Jesus Christ into the world. Scripture shows that God created mankind in His image and designed humanity to carry a divine purpose. Yet soon after creation, rebellion entered not only the human heart, but the spiritual realm itself. The mysterious events of Genesis 6, the global Flood, ...

You already live as if some things are really wrong. Not just inconvenient. Not just unpopular. Wrong. That is why betrayal cuts deeper than disagreement. That is why injustice feels heavier than preference. That is why even people who call morality “subjective” still speak in the language of fairness, dignity, blame, and justice when life gets real. The Moral Signature: Why Right and Wrong Point to a Moral Lawgiver is Book 4 in the TruthScripts series, Does God Exist?—written for thoughtful skeptics, seekers, doubters, and believers in transition who want clarity without pressure. ...

One of the most popular misconceptions by people who have walked away from the Church and their faith is that the Bible contains errors or inaccurate accounts.

Now in a bold defense for the accuracy of Scripture, Ken Ham leads a powerful team of contributors in providing core biblical truths to help refute claims regarding the inaccuracy of ...

Even as a pastor, Austin Fischer has experienced the shadows of doubt and disillusionment. In Faith in the Shadows, he leans into perennial questions about Christianity with raw and fearless integrity. He addresses contemporary science, the problem of evil, hell, God's silence, and other issues, offering not only fresh treatments of these questions but also a fresh paradigm for thinking about doubt itself. Doubt, Fischer contends, is no reason to leave the faith. Instead, it's an invitation to a more honest faith.

Atheists talk a lot about the importance of skepticism. But the truth is, they're not nearly skeptical enough. While atheists champion the importance of a critical stance toward religion, they often fail to take that same stance toward their own beliefs.

An Introduction to Biblical Classical Theism What role should philosophy play in shaping our understanding of the nature of God? Is there a basic agreement between Plato’s and Aristotle’s doctrine of God and the God of Scripture? Were the Scholastics wise in seeking to harmonize Platonism and Aristotelianism with Christianity? Is understanding the Scholastic heritage necessary in understanding the doctrine of God as expressed in the Protestant confessions of the sixteenth and seventeenth century? The Revealed God answers these questions by showing how philosophy is in opposition to ...
