Truth in a culture of doubt : engaging skeptical challenges to the Bible / Andreas J. Ks̲tenberger, Darrell L. Bock, and Josh D. Chatraw. - Nashville: : B & H Publishing Group;, c2014. - xii, 194 pages ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Introduction : from fundamentalist to skeptic -- Is God immoral because he allows suffering? -- Is the Bible full of irresolvable contradictions? -- Are the biblical manuscripts corrupt? -- Were there many Christianities? -- Are many New Testament documents forged? -- Conclusion : reasons to believe.
All too often Christians, and even Christian leaders, do not know how to deal with skeptical challenges to the Bible and the Christian faith. In today's culture of doubt, Bible skeptic Bart Ehrman -- professor at UNC-Chapel Hill and author of four New York Times best sellers -- has found a captive audience. Ehrman's popularity is due in large part to the fact that he is talking about things most people never learned about in church. Responding to the key arguments of secular scholars like Ehrman, Truth in a Culture of Doubt takes readers on a journey to explain topics such as the Bible's origins, the copying of the Bible, alleged contradictions in scripture, and the relationship between God and evil. Written for all serious students of Scripture, this book will enable readers to respond to a wide variety of arguments raised against the reliability of Scripture and the truthfulness of Christianity.
