As Christians, we shouldn't be defensive about our beliefs, but we should learn to intelligently defend our faith to those around us. In Evidence Unseen, James Rochford offers accessible and careful thinking on the current popular attacks against the Christian worldview. In Evidence Unseen, you will find: Solid evidence for why belief in God is both reasonable and logical for thinking people today. A response to the New Atheism (e.g. Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens). Counterarguments to the claims of popular biblical critics (e.g. Bart Ehrman, Elaine Pagels, etc.). How biblical prophecy predicted Jesus of Nazareth centuries in advance. What Christians need today in apologetics is clarity and accessibility. With simple and direct language, clever illustrations, and a down to earth approach, this is the book to give to a spiritual seeker or a skeptic; a doubting Christian or to study in a small group.
A cornerstone for any rationale individual attempting to argue for the existence of God, the legitimacy of Christianity, and our relationship through grace with Jesus Christ.
This is an excellent book explaining many of the reasons that Christianity is not just a man made religion and something that people believe in blindly. It was very well written.
Well written and well thought out, Rochford's book on being open to and pursuing the evidence for Christianity is awesome. This book is a great introduction to predictive prophecy, the evidence from history, the transmission of the texts, sorting out the various testimonies (both friendly and hostile), as well as what to consider in making up our minds about it. Excellent footnotes give plenty of additional leads to pursue for those interested in rigorous study on a particular point. I recommend this book to everyone.
