The answers to those hard questions...

At some point in a Christian's faith, he/she will be asked to defend their beliefs. Ron Rhodes offers logical answers with sound support. Recently, I have read several books that claimed to assist Christians in answering such questions. Answering The Objections of Atheistic, Agnostics, and Skeptics is well-written. Rhodes states the questions and discusses the answers in an easy-to-understand format. His vast experience and expertise add to this topic. Christians will benefit from Answering The Objections of Atheistic, Agnostics, and Skeptics.

Great for beginning apologists

Im surprized to see that it has such bad reviews. I think it is nearly the perfect introduction to apologetics there is out there. Everything is simple and formatted well. It helped me get into the frame of mind to look at other authors such a CS Lewis and Dinesh D'zousa.

"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'."

Rhodes answers objections made by non-believers. He is easily understood; makes sure his point gets across. Important and outstanding work; there should be no excuse; he gives us strong, undeniable evidence for the existence of God, Savior, Holy Spirit, and the inerrancy of the bible. Ron quotes a variety of individuals who were influential throughout time. Apologetics: gaining the faith and strength one needs to share the truth. Excellent bibliography for further study recourses. Ron explains how similar atheists, agnostics, and skeptics really are: the origins, history, beliefs, religion of fear, the illogical position. Agnostics: cant know or not sure; unknowable; if he believes this He can not entirely be unknowable. Skeptic: he is not skeptical, his worldview of skepticism is correct. "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'." Good accompaniments: "Darwin's Black Box", "In the Minds of Men", "Mere Christianity" Wish you well Scott

Straight-forward answers to current Christian challenges

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 reader's 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. The author, Ron Rhodes is a prominent Christian writer and speaker, and president of Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries. While obviously erudite, the author's style is readily understandable to the lay person. Of interest to pastors, teachers, debaters, witnessing Christians, parents, high school and college students, and those who work out in the world, Answering the Objections of Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics belongs on everyone's reference bookshelf, as well as in their briefcase, desk, or car so they can take quick looks at it when and where challenges arise. - Donna Eggett, Christian Book Previews.com

Awsome

Despite what the reviewer below said (who didn't even bother commenting on the book, talk about an innappropriate review) this book is good. It contained a little unique information and was well written and easy to understand.
