"In courtrooms and in scientific literature, the standard of proof is the same: reason to the best explanation for all the facts at hand. This book applies this commonsensical and powerful mode of thinking to many of the central claims of the Christian religion: the resurrection of Jesus, the reliability of the Gospels, and the existence of God." -Chad Engelland, author of Heidegger's Shadow "It is especially gratifying to see such a solid, well-researched, yet accessible book on apologetics published by an esteemed press. I learned a lot from reading it. Get Christian Apologetics and Philosophy, study it, and share it with your friends." -J. P. Moreland, co-author of The Substance of Consciousness
