If you are looking for some thoughtful reading over Christmas, or at any time for that matter, here are three suggestions. These are all books that present, in various ways, the intellectual integrity of the Christian position and challenge the materialist and other philosophical worldviews. Whether you are a Christian who wants to understand the rational foundation for Christianity, or are an agnostic or atheist who wants to read an intellectual defence of Christianity, or you just like thoughtful reading, I can strongly recommend athese books.
I am in the midst of reading this book and am currently just over halfway through it, so it is perhaps a bit of a cheat recommending it at this stage. However, it is so good that I feel I must include it. It takes Romans 1:18-32 as a template for assessing various worldviews and exposes the contradictions in them. In reading this book you will also gain a greater appreciation of various philosophical and worldviews.
I have read all of this one, at least the earlier edition a few years ago. John Lennox is one of my favourite speakers and writers. A common line of attack on Christianity is that it is unscientific and now that we have so much more scientific knowledge no thinking person would believe in the Bible. If we are honest, there are some Christians who would seem to demonstrate that the atheist attack is entirely justified. However, there are many thinking Christians and many scientists who are Christians. This book demonstrates the coherence of Christianity and science.
I have read all of this one too! Ravi is a well known apologist and presents the case for Christianity and, like Nancey Pearcey, challenges competing worldviews. It is very easy to read and I would strongly recommend it.
