And despite Peter's charge to be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15), most Christian laypeople have left apologetics--the defense of the faith--to the ecclesiastical pros. \u003cem\u003eFaith Has Its Reasons\u003c\/em\u003e is a study of four different models of how apologetics should be done, an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, and a proposal for integrating the best insights of each. Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman have assembled a wealth of information about what Christians believe and how to present that faith to an unbelieving world. Remarkable both in its depth of content and ease of accessibility, \u003cem\u003eFaith Has Its Reasons\u003c\/em\u003e gives Christian laypeople the tools to address such critical questions as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy is belief in God rational despite the prevalence of evil in the world?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e What facts support the church's testimony that Jesus rose from the dead?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan we be certain Christianity is true?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e How can our faith in Christ be based on something more secure than our own understanding without descending into an irrational emotionalism?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830856480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.70d","brand":"Kenneth Boa, Robert M.
