Why Should You Believe?: a Logical Foundation for Faith Francis David Batcheler

Publisher Marketing: This book provides support for Christians to counter the anti-Christian bias that is prevalent in the media and popular culture. The author is concerned about the effect this bias has on college students who are influenced by atheistic professors destroying the faith of many. The book illustrates the many ways in which science points to the existence of a creator, from the Big Bang Theory to the unique life-supporting properties of water and sunlight. Consideration is given to what science has proved about evolution and what the Bible actually says about creation. The essential teachings of Jesus are explained together with a defense of the reliability of the New Testament. The potential implications of following Jesus are brought to life with examples from the lives of George Muller, John Newton, Gladys Aylward and Indian surgeon Stephen Alfred. Students should read this book to enable them to oppose atheistic arguments they will encounter at college and University. All Christians will find the book valuable in providing intelligent answers to evangelical, atheist scientists whose writings are so popular, and as a tool for outreach. There are extensive references supporting the arguments in each chapter.
