Christian Apologetics
Regularly: $24.99

The standard-bearer for Christian apologetics, Dr. Geisler uses a systematic approach to present both the methods and reasons for defending Christianity. Michael Hill of Reformed Theological Review states that Christian Apologetics, provides the reader with a fundamentally sound approach to Christian apologetics. It will be a valuable addition to any students library.

The content is divided into three parts: surveying, verifying, and applying the unique claims of historical Christianity. Dr. Geisler first surveys the existing "isms" - Agnosticism, Rationalism, Fideism, Experientialism, Evidentialism, Pragmatism and Combinationalism. Then he verifies the theistic apologetics of Deism, Pantheism, Panentheism, Atheism and Theism. Finally, he applies his findings to Christian apologetics exploring such topics as the deity and authority of Jesus Christ.

Dr. Geisler's superb organization of this material and clear analysis has made this a classic for all students of the Bible and defenders of the faith.

Destined to be a major textbook for evangelicals in
apologetics [It will] help a generation of readers and
students faced with a tough-minded humanism to give
cogent and careful defense of the faith.

Bibliotheca Sacra

Introduction to Philosophy
Regularly: $29.99

Introduction to Philosophy provides a Christian perspective on the study and history of philosophy. It answers questions such as what is philosophy, why should it be studied, and what is its practical impact. The authors, Norman Geisler and Paul Feinberg show that philosophy should be valued, in and of itself, and that Christianity can stand up to the rigors of philosophy, and should be seen as a philosophically valid worldview.

While written in textbook format, Introduction to Philosophy is also an excellent reference tool that does not glorify or vilify philosophy. It understandably explains how philosophical thought has significantly contributed to theological understanding, and how errors in philosophy must be recognized and refuted to confirm the reasonableness of Christian faith without religious jargon.

The five major sections of the book answer the questions What is philosophy?, What is knowledge?, What is reality?, What is the ultimate?, and What is good or right?. Also, the structure of the book allows you to easily jump to any topic in the book and study without reading previous sections of the book. If you're teaching an apologetics or systematic theology class, or just want to increase your own knowledge in these areas, you will appreciate the up-to-date information and argument and counterargument approach of Introduction to Philosophy.

Makes the broad field of philosophy accessible to beginning
students. The book will make a fine reference tool in
its well-organized presentations of most of the significant
philosophical positions.

Correcting the Cults
Regularly: $27.95

Roman Catholics and Evangelicals
Regularly: $39.95

In Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences, Norman Geisler and Ralph MacKenzie explore the spiritual, moral, and theological issues around which evangelicals and Catholics find common ground, and on which they differ.

This thoroughly-researched content presents a systematic approach to the doctrinal issues of revelation, God, human beings, Christ, salvation, the Church, ethics, and the apocalypse. Throughout, the authors draw out the sources of historic Christian orthodoxy as found in thinkers like Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and others. This retrieval of the tradition allows them not only to find lines of doctrinal convergence between evangelicals and Catholics, but also, in effect, demonstrates that evangelical orthodoxy is dependent upon the historic Catholic tradition.

Differences on doctrines such as the Apocrypha, Scripture, infallibility, justification, sacramentalism, various aspects of the nature of the Church (visibility, unity, priestly authority, constituency), Mariology, and purgatory are by no means minimized. The approach is to clearly set out and compare doctrinal content from the most accurate source material, ancient and current.

With In Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences, you get a lot more than a volume designed to refute Catholicism.
