"More than ever, Christians are bombarded with tough faith questions from their pluralistic friends and neighbors. Many of these emerge as "anti-truth claims" and slogans we are all familiar with: ⢠Why not just look out for yourself? ⢠Do what you want--just as long as you don't hurt anyone ⢠Miracles violate the laws of nature ⢠Aren't people born gay? Paul Copan has been answering questions like these for many ..."

"In our relativistic society, Christians more than ever are bombarded by tough questions about their faith. Author Paul Copan has observed that many of these questions emerge as "anti-truth claims" that are part of today's skeptical mind-set. Christians defending their faith often hear slogans and questions such as: - It's all relative - Everything is one with the Divine; all else is illusion - The Gospels contradict each other - ..."

A Little Book for New Philosophers(1st Edition) Why and How to Study Philosophy (Little Books) by PaulCopan Paperback, 128 Pages, Published 2016 by Ivp Academic ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-5147-8, ISBN: 0-8308-5147-X
"What's the point of studying philosophy when we have theology? Is philosophy anything more than a preparation for apologetics? Often called "theology's handmaid," philosophy has sometimes suffered from an inferiority complex in the church. Many Christians see little point in it at all. But as Paul Copan contends, it is possible to affirm theology's preeminence without diminishing the value and contribution of philosophy. In A Litt ..."
"Our world is multicultural, multireligious, multiphilosophical. It ranges from fundamental monotheism to do-it-yourself spirituality to strident atheism. How can Christians engage in communicating across worldviews in this pluralistic and often relativistic society? When Paul visited Athens, he found an equally multicultural and multireligious setting. From Jews to Gentiles, elite to poor, slaves to slave owners, from olive-skinned Ge ..."
Is God a Moral Monster? Making Sense of the Old Testament God by PaulCopan Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 2011 by Baker Books Bargain Price ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-7275-8, ISBN: 0-8010-7275-1
"A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? In this timely and readable book, apolo ..."
"A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. Even Christians have a hard time stomaching such a thought, and many avoid reading those difficult Old Testament passages that make us squeamish. Instead, we quickly jump to the enemy-loving, forgiving Jesus of the New Testament. And yet, the question doesn't go away. Did God really command ..."
True for you, but not for me Deflating the Slogans that Leave Christians Speechless by PaulCopan Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 1998 by Bethany House ISBN-13: 978-0-7642-2091-3, ISBN: 0-7642-2091-8
"" --William Lane Craig, Talbot School of Theology, author of Reasonable Faith "This book should be required reading in Christian high schools and colleges. And laypeople and parachurch ministries will profit greatly from its content."
"Based on a recent debate held at Moody Church in Chicago between John Dominic Crossan, former co-chair of the Jesus Seminar, and evangelical William Lane Craig, Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up? is the first book to present, in one volume, a dialogue between evangelicals and members of the Jesus Seminar on the resurrection of Christ. Skillfully moderated by William F. Buckley Jr., this volume includes responses from Jesus studies exp ..."
"There are some questions you can't avoid, no matter what you believe. The question "What is truth?" becomes more distressing every day. What's so wrong about being wrong? Am I a bad person if I believe something is true? Where does truth come from? This Critical Questions Discussion Guide by Paul Copan and Mark Linville provides a forum for exploring these questions in groups or individually. Here are the engaging insights of world-clas ..."
"Did the universe begin to exist? If so, did it have a cause? Or could it have come into existence uncaused, from nothing? These questions are taken up by the medieval-though recently-revived-kalam cosmological argument, which has arguably been the most discussed philosophical argument for God's existence in recent decades. The kalam's line of reasoning maintains that the series of past events cannot be infinite but rather is finite. Sin ..."
Origins The Ancient Impact and Modern Implications of Genesis 1-11 by PaulCopan, Dr Douglas Jacoby Paperback, 274 Pages, Published 2018 by Morgan James Faith ISBN-13: 978-1-68350-950-9, ISBN: 1-68350-950-1
"Origins turns much of what Christians learned in Sunday School on its head in a revealing comparison of the Genesis narrative to the competing pagan narrative of the day. Relatively few Bible readers are familiar with the world of the ancient Near East, centered in Mesopotamia and its most prominent city, Babylon. The culture, literature, religions, geography, etc. of the early biblical period dramatically influenced what was written an ..."
Loving Wisdom Christian Philosophy of Religion by PaulCopan Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 2007 by Chalice Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8272-2139-0, ISBN: 0-8272-2139-8
"Presenting a distinctively and deliberately Christian philosophy of religion, Loving Wisdom addresses a wide range of topics and questions. Copan acknowledges the difficulties, mystery, and disagreement of religion, and instead of using the language of "proofs," he attempts to show how the Christian faith does a much more adequate job of answering a wide range of questions."
"The ancient kalam cosmological argument maintains that the series of past events is finite and that therefore the universe began to exist. Two recent scientific discoveries have yielded plausible prima facie physical evidence for the beginning of the universe. The expansion of the universe points to its beginning-to a Big Bang-as one retraces the universe's expansion in time. And the second law of thermodynamics, which implies that the ..."
"The definitive reference work on science and Christian belief How does Christian theology relate to scientific inquiry? What are the competing philosophies of science, and do they -work- with a Christian faith based on the Bible? No reference work has covered this terrain sufficiently--until now. Featuring the work of over 140 international contributors, the Dictionary of Christianity and Science is a deeply-researched, peer-reviewed, ..."
"It has bewildered Christians for generations, and it has disturbed all readers of the Bible-the challenge of a seemingly genocidal God who commands ruthless, unmerciful warfare. The theme of divine warfare is not limited to the Old Testament historical books, however. It is also prevalent in the prophets and the wisdom literature. Yet, it doesn't stop there. The New Testament book of Revelation is also full of similar imagery. The quest ..."
""Contending with Christianity's Critics "is book two in a series on modern Christian apologetics that began with the popular "Passionate Conviction." This second installment, featuring writings from eighteen respected apologists such as Gary Habermas and Ben Witherington, addresses challenges from noted New Atheists like Richard Dawkins ("The God Delusion") and other contemporary critics of Christianity concerning belief in God, the his ..."
