The Twelve Arguments: Showing what is clear about God's eternal power from general revelation

by Owen Anderson

The eternal power and divine nature of God are clearly revealed in general revelation. And we are responsible to understand what is clear to reason about God. To get understanding we need arguments to show what is true. In this book, Dr. Owen Anderson gives twelve arguments that show how we can know God is real. The criticism of theistic arguments is that they do not actually get to the knowledge of the Biblical God. They prove only the gods of the philosophers which fall far short of the knowledge of God. To correct this mistake, Dr. Anderson begins with a full definition of God and then shows how we can show each part of this definition to be true. God as revealed in scripture is also revealed in general revelation. Dr. Anderson draws from thinkers like John Locke, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Hodge, and Francis Schaeffer, in order to make the case that we can and should know what is clearly revealed about God to all persons in general revelation.
