Showing results for "Y" in Apologetics

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.

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.
