A straight-forward volume which lists up to the minute challenges and gives answers garnered from Christian scholars, modern research, and the Bible, Answering the Objections of Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics makes a useful tool for all active Christians. Starting with a look at our beliefs, this volume then presents an overview of atheism, agnosticism, and skepticism. The main section is divided into separate categories of objections. The objections considered range through a wide variety of ideas evolution vs. intelligent design, absolute morality, the bias of the Gospel writers, how accurately could a book be transmitted faithfully through the centuries, Jesus was only a moral teacher, and many more. All these challenges receive careful, detailed, and fully proven Christian answers. Several charts and lists encourage the readers understanding. All references are annotated. The footnotes section makes an ample bibliography for further reading. A call to Christian courtesy and a declaration of what it means to believe draw this book to a challenging finish.
