In Natural Theology (1802) William Paley delivers one of the most influential arguments for the existence of God, inviting audiences to explore the wonders of the natural world through the lens of reason. With his iconic watchmaker analogy, Paley contends that the intricate design and purposeful order found in living organisms and the universe point unmistakably to an intelligent Creator. Drawing from biology, anatomy and astronomy, he builds a compelling case for faith grounded in observation and rational thought.

In today’s age of descent, many Christians feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the cultural sentiment that the truth has become unknowable. Yet despite this widespread uncertainty, God’s truth remains firm and unchanging, and when you turn to His Word seeking wisdom, you’ll find it extends even to the controversial topics of our day.

What if Batman knew your name and wanted to be friends with you? What if you were the one that Tony Stark died to save? What if it was you that Luke Skywalker would stop at nothing to redeem? Hollywood Heroes will awaken you to these questions and help you to see a God who stops at nothing to redeem you. Fictional stories about heroes help us realize that there is evil to fight, souls to be won, and growth to be achieved. It helps us recognize - regardless of religious or cultural beliefs - that sacrificing your life for another’s is a powerful and beautiful display of love.

The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But...

Christians affirm that everything exists because of God—from subatomic quarks to black holes. Science often claims to explain nature without including God at all. And thinking Christians often feel forced to choose between the two. But the good news is that we don't have to make a choice. Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science.

J. Gresham Machen examines whether the Apostle Paul’s faith arose from borrowed religious ideas or from a genuine encounter with the risen Christ. Engaging with critical scholars and comparing Paul’s letters with the wider New Testament canon and extra-biblical texts, Machen shows that Paul’s faith and teaching were received, not invented. Paul’s theology cannot be explained as a blend of Judaism and paganism but must be understood as rooted in divine revelation.

En este ensayo, Rafael Domingo Oslé examina la relación entre el cristianismo y la cultura contemporánea desde una perspectiva crítica y reflexiva. Sostiene que el cristianismo no solo proporciona respuestas a estas inquietudes, sino que también actúa como una luz orientadora que llena la vida de esperanza. Rafael Domingo argumenta que los valores cristianos tienen mucho que ofrecer a nuestra vida cotidiana y ejercen una influencia significativa en áreas como la política, el derecho, la economía, la filosofía y la ciencia.

¿Cómo darle sentido a nuestra existencia sin un ser superior o un Dios que nos ordene? Vivimos una crisis que va desde las Iglesias hasta el surgimiento de una "fe" distinta a la que conocíamos: el "nuevo ateísmo", con divulgadores connotados como el biólogo Richard Dawkins. Y mientras predomina en Occidente el racionalismo científico a ultranza, el espacio para la reflexión sobre lo transcendente y la duda sobre Dios ocupan un lugar marginal en nuestra cultura. Ante esto, Joseph Ramos plantea la necesidad de retomar ese diálogo perdido, pero no desde la fe, que solo sirve al que la tiene, sino desde la razón.

Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a respected research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work—and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview.

The Christian faith requires faith. That means that believers are sometimes faced with uncertainty. But is all uncertainty bad? Theologian Joshua McNall encourages listeners to reclaim the little word perhaps as a sacred space between the warring extremes of unchecked doubt and zealous dogmatism. To say "perhaps" on certain contested topics means exercising a hopeful imagination, asking hard questions, returning once again to Scripture, and reclaiming the place of holy speculation as we cling to a faith that stands distinct from both pervasive skepticism and abrasive certainty.
