Every Thought Captive: A Study Manual For The Defense Of Christian Truth

By: Richard Pratt

ISBN: 978-0875523521

In down-to-earth language Richard L. Pratt, Jr. has given us this helpful study manual on apologetics, the task of defending the faith. Far from a theoretical exposition, this training manual teaches how to answer nonbelievers and to "take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." Pratt shows how the biblical doctrines about humanity and our relationship to our Creator determine how we should do apologetics. Within this theological framework he examines the premises, attitudes, and specific steps involved in a genuinely biblical defense of Christianity. Illustrations and review questions help to make this a valuable tool for individual or group study.

Redemptive History And The New Testament Scriptures

By: Herman N. Ridderbos

ISBN: 978-0875524160

"Any scientific investigator of Scripture repeatedly confronts the issue of the character of the Bible’s authority,” writes Hermon Ridderbos in the opening lines of this book. From there he goes on to examine the basis for the church’s acceptance of the new Testament as canonical. More than a merely academic question, the canonicity of the New Testament remains a vital concern for the church today. It is a question of whether these twenty-seven books are in fact God’s holy Word and therefore authoritative for our faith and life.
