ASK: A Handbook on Christian Evidences,
by Norman Geisler & Ron Brooks (Victor Books, 1990)
Norman Geisler is no stranger when it comes to
Christian evidences. As a Christian apologist, he has been at the forefront
of defending historic Christianity for most of his adult life! He has produced
more books on the subject than any another evangelical writing in the field.
Needless to say, one can learn a great deal from the fruit of Dr.Geisler's
research!
WHEN SKEPTICS ASK is just another fine
sampling of the seeming unlimited minds of Norman Geisler & Ron Brooks.
The book devotes thirteen chapters to some of the most difficult issues
challenging Christians in a world filled with skeptics of a different worldview.
The authors cover such topics as the existence
of God, the question of evil, miracles, who Jesus Christ is, questions
about the Bible, science and evolution, the afterlife, questions about
truth, and finally, questions about morals.
The most important feature of this book is it
is scholarly, yet, very readable. All to often books dealing with apologetic
issues can be so scholarly they have no real practical use. Geisler &
Brooks avoid this trap and present mater- ial useful to high school and
col-lege students, lay people, and academics.
Highly recommended!
