A CLASSIC (1955) APOLOGETICS BOOK

William Arndt (1880-1957) was a professor of Hermeneutics and New Testament Exegesis at Concordia Seminary. He includes chapters on, "Some Introductory Considerations," "Passages of a Historical Nature from the Old Testament" (e.g., Jeremiah or Zechariah?" in Mt. 27:9-10); "Passages of a Historical Nature from the New Testament" (e.g.,"The Resurrection of Jesus"); "Passages of a Doctrinal Nature from the Old Testament" (e.g., "Does God Repent?"); and "Passages of a Doctrinal Nature from the New Testament" (e.g., "Was Jesus Omniscient?"). His earlier book Bible Difficulties: An Examination Of Passages Of The Bible Alleged To Be Irreconcilable With Its Inspiration will also be of interest to readers of this book. This book is much less comprensive than the classic, Alleged Discrepancies of the Bible, or more recent treatments such as Gleason Archer's New International Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties and Norman Geisler's When Critics Ask: A Popular Handbook on Bible Difficulties. But a reader interested in Christian apologetics will often want to compare and contrast multiple proposed resolutions of difficulties.
