Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists helps readers—both secular and religious—appreciate their common ground. For those whose thinking has moved from the religious thesis to the skeptical antithesis (or vice versa), Myers offers pointers to a science-respecting Christian synthesis. He shows how skeptics and people of faith can share a commitment to reason, evidence, and critical thinking, while also embracing a faith that supports human flourishing—by making sense of the universe, giving meaning to life, connecting us in supportive communities, mandating altruism, and offering hope in the face of adversity and death.
Book Synopsis Letters from a Skeptic by : Dr. Gregory A. Boyd

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the profound dynamics between a Christian son and his skeptical father in this powerful book, as it delves into the big questions of Christianity with a compelling blend of intelligent answers and heartfelt faith. Greg Boyd and his father, Ed, were on opposite sides of a great divide. Greg was a newfound Christian, while his father was a longtime agnostic. So Greg offered his father an invitation: Ed could write with any questions on Christianity, and his son would offer a response. Letters from a Skeptic contains this special correspondence. The letters tackle some of today's toughest challenges facing Christianity, including: Do all non-Christians go to hell? How can we believe a man rose from the dead? Why is the world so full of suffering? How do we know the Bible was divinely inspired? Does God know the future? Each response offers insights into these difficult questions, while delivering intelligent answers that connect with both the heart and mind. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just unsure, these letters can provide a practical, common-sense guide to the Christian faith.
Book Synopsis A Skeptic’s Investigation into Jesus by : J. P. Hannah
Download or read book A Skeptic’s Investigation into Jesus written by J. P. Hannah and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does human life have any significance? The statements below have become widely accepted in the Western world: -Life is the accidental product of random events. -The laws of physics are totally deterministic. -Science does not accept a connection between physical matter and human consciousness. -Atheism is a conclusion from evidence while faith is speculation. -Science and faith are incompatible. -Suffering contradicts the existence of a loving, omnipotent God. -Jesus was a compilation of pagan mythologies or a human teacher who was deified. But do these statements represent eternal truths? Are they logical conclusions based on established facts or merely opinions? What is the evidence? To investigate these and other questions of existence and faith, a skeptical academic objectively explored relevant aspects of philosophy, mythology, history, archaeology, cosmology, quantum physics, biochemistry, and various faiths that finally led to investigation of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures (including the Dead Sea Scrolls and the gnostic gospels). The findings of this research not only challenge many modern assumptions but also have significant implications for our understanding of reality. Written with minimum technicality for general readership, this book presents a wide range of interesting and carefully confirmed facts relevant to the above questions. Whether you are an atheist or an agnostic, a Christian, or a follower of another faith, or have simply not been interested, this investigation provides valuable and surprising insights into the nature of the universe and our place in it.

Of the fourth he says, " The universal belief of the Christian Church has ascribed this Gospel to the apostle John." It may be well to add the testimony of infidels to the authorship of the four Epistles, thus rendering complete and conclusive the evidence which assigns to the first century the original documents narrating the resurrection. Baur says, " The four Epistles, which must on all accounts be considered the chief Epistles of the Apostle, are the Epistle to the Galatians, the two Epistles to the Corinthians, and the Epistle to the Romans. There has never been the slightest suspicion of unauthenticity cast on these four Epistles." Renan says in "The Apostles," " Not the slightest doubt has been raised by serious criticism against the authenticity of the Epistle to the Galatians, the two Epistles to the Corinthians, or the Epistle to the Romans;" while in his later work, " St. Paul," he speaks of "Epistles unquestionable and unquestioned; namely, the Epistle to the Galatians, the two Epistles to the Corinthians, and the Epistle to the Romans." Keim, the latest of the rationalistic writers, says in his "Jesus of Nazara," " The first Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians was written at the beginning of Easter, A. D. 58." "Suspicion is forbidden by his whole character; by his acute understanding, which was entirely free from fanaticism; by the form of his careful, cautious, measured, plain representation;... and above all, by the favorable general impression his report produces, and by the powerful corroboration which accompanied it in the clear, consistent, universal belief of early Christendom, and particularly in the testimony of a host of living eye-witnesses." Hence even if it could be proved...

Book Synopsis Second Thoughts for Skeptics by : Douglas D. Webster
Download or read book Second Thoughts for Skeptics written by Douglas D. Webster and published by . This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the court of public opinion, today's skeptic seems to be looking for a quick dismissal of the Christian faith, not a long, dragged out, serious discussion. Instead of a fully armored, reasoned assault on the truth, flippancy, sarcasm, irony, and humor are the preferred weapons of unbelief. With a well-timed joke or an amusing anecdote, he or she hopes this whole business of Christ and the Bible can be "laughed out of court." How can a Christian respond to a culture of credulity and suspicion? In Second Thoughts for Skeptics, Doug Webster draws out the wisdom of Scripture on some of the most critical questions human beings have ever asked: what is the meaning of life? Can we really know what God is like? Where is the universe heading? More importantly, can the Christian faith legitimately answer these questions in light of what we know about the universe today. With sensitivity and humility, Doug Websters directs us--not to his own air-tight arguments--but rather to what Christians believe is God's self-revelation. Moreover, he invites his readers not to embrace a merely intellectual idea, but rather to embrace the living Jesus "in whom all things hold together." Douglas D. Webster, Ph.D., is the author of numerous books including Soulcraft: How God Shapes Us Through Relationships and Under the Radar: A Conversation on Spiritual Leadership. He and his wife, Virginia, live in Birmingham, Alabama, where Doug mentors future pastors at Beeson Divinity School.
Book Synopsis The Pseudo-Platonic Seventh Letter by : Myles Burnyeat
Download or read book The Pseudo-Platonic Seventh Letter written by Myles Burnyeat and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seventh Platonic Letter describes Plato's attempts to turn the ruler of Sicily, Dionysius II, into a philosopher ruler along the lines of the Republic. It explains why Plato turned from politics to philosophy in his youth and how he then tried to apply his ideas to actual politics later on. It also sets out his views about language, writing and philosophy. As such, it represents a potentially crucial source of information about Plato, who tells us almost nothing about himself in his dialogues. But is it genuine? Scholars have debated the issue for centuries, although recent opinion has moved in its favour. The origin of this book was a seminar given in Oxford in 2001 by Myles Burnyeat and Michael Frede, two of the most eminent scholars of ancient philosophy in recent decades. Michael Frede begins by casting doubt on the Letter by looking at it from the general perspective of letter writing in antiquity, when it was quite normal to fabricate letters by famous figures from the past. Both then attack the authenticity of the letter head-on by showing how its philosophical content conflicts with what we find in the Platonic dialogues. They also reflect on the question of why the Letter was written, whether as an attempt to exculpate Plato from the charge of meddling in politics (Frede), or as an attempt to portray, through literary means, the ways in which human weakness and emotions can lead to disasters in political life (Burnyeat).

Book Synopsis C.S. Lewis: Apostle to the Skeptics by : Chad Walsh

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "That a writer of Dr. Lewis's scholarly and literary stature should publish more than a dozen books directly or indirectly defending Christianity is news; that his works should have such wide repercussions is still more significant news and merits a second thought. What does it mean when his books become best-sellers? Does the fact indicate anything about the intellectual currents of the present decade? If so, it seems time to examine more closely the exact kind of Christianity and philosophy presented in Dr. Lewis's writings, and the literary techniques that have brought him into the forefront of authors dealing with religious themes." "In this book I hope to add something (though not too much) to the scanty supply of biographical information available about Dr. Lewis, but my main concern will be with his ideas, the way he presents them, and the significance of his popularity. " --from the foreword by the author
