Defend The Faith

In this new and expanded edition, Defend the Faith! is more than just another book on Catholic apologetics. Born from Robert Haddad's personal encounters with numerous non-Catholics over 30 years, Defend the Faith! answers 165 objections against the Catholic Faith in 50 comprehensive and well-set out chapters. Robert not only continues to answer the usual questions from Protestant Christians but for the first time responds to the rising challenges of Islam and atheism. With over 1,500 references to Scripture, the Church Fathers and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Defend the Faith! is ideal for anyone seeking a solid Biblical and historic defense of Catholicism.

R. C. Sproul surveys the history and fundamentals of apologetics to show that reason and scientific inquiry can be strong allies in defending the existence of God and the authority of the Bible.

EQUIP YOURSELF...AND BE READY TO GIVE AN ANSWER FOR YOUR FAITH Examine scientific disciplines from a young earth and worldwide Flood approach Identify the weaknesses in origin theories that ignore God Learn how to rebut theories of atheistic scientism that compromise biblical truth Have you ever been faced with an argument rejecting the doctrine of special creation and a global Flood? Were you left scrambling for an answer? In Defending the Faith, Henry Morris presents the evolutionary and Bible-compromising arguments for the origins of the earth and universe — then reveals their many flaws through sound evidence and logic. This book will prepare you to refute, both scientifically and biblically, evolutionary claims as well as “Christian” concepts such as the gap and day-age theories. Equipped with such knowledge, you will “be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).

Christian Apologetics

Have you ever felt a bit like the troubled man who professed to Jesus: Lord, I believe. Help me overcome my unbelief!? Do you want to dig deeper into your faith so as to become more sure of what you hope for, and certain of what you cannot see? Havent you questioned whether there is any scientific support for the Genesis creation accountor historical evidence to confirm the ministry, crucifixion and, yes, post-resurrection of a man named Jesus? Will you not be challenged in the future by either a skeptical critic or genuine seeker to defend Christianity with facts and not simply faith? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this handbook written in succinct outline form is just what youve been looking for!

Teaching Others to Defend Christianity deepens your faith, equipping you to be an effective witness. These six lessons are for those desiring an intellectual study to have confidence in God's existence and strengthen one's faith in Jesus Christ.

Women want answers! A busy twenty-first century woman who has not taken the time to think through exactly what she believes about God, even why she believes in God, tends to live as a practical atheist. Today's Christian woman needs the transformation that having a reasoned belief in the reality of God's existence can bring, the intellectual confidence that will empower her to speak boldly on faith issues, with love and self-control. It's not that women need different or special apologetics arguments; they simply need to be encouraged and instructed in the importance of apologetics in their daily lives. Women who are exposed to apologetics find themselves energized and excited about sharing their faith with family, friends, and coworkers. Popular apologist Mary Jo Sharp issues a personal challenge for sisters in Christ to approach their faith on an intellectual level, along with a compelling call for women's ministries to help women love God with their minds by incorporating apologetics into their programs.

From the day Jorge Bergoglio stepped out on the loggia of St. Peter's down to the present, Catholics have been confused and dismayed by many of the words and actions of Pope Francis. Not content to allow errors to be spread (whatever their source or putative justification), international groups of pastors and scholars composed documents of inquiry, appeal, critique, and, finally, accusation: the Dubia of the Four Cardinals, the Theological Censures of Amoris Laetitia, the Filial Correction Concerning the Propagation of Heresies, the Open Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church, the Appeal to the Cardinals, and the Protest against Pope Francis's Sacrilegious Acts. These historic interventions, which made news around the world at the time of their first appearance and garnered the support of hundreds of thousands of concerned Catholics, are gathered here in a definitive edition for the benefit of all who seek to adhere to "the faith delivered once for all to the saints" (Jude 3). The six documents are accompanied by a selection of important articles and interviews prompted by them, which criticize, defend, or develop their evaluation of Pope Francis.
