Hardwired
$18.99Add to cartThere is a vast Christian audience that longs for clear explanations in their “case for God” that gives them reason, confidence, and the language to effectively communicate their belief. Hardwired is that book, that confidence, that accessible wisdom and that language! Christian apologetics remains a popular and widely-read genre, with works like The Case for Christ selling millions of copies and Craig’s Reasonable Faith making inroads into professional academic discussion. However, those works require readers to have a certain degree of academic curiosity or to defer to credible scholars-even to have an existing faith. Hardwired is altogether different. Rather than mounting an academic case for faith, Hardwired explores the many surprising levels of faith and “inherent” facts that the casual observer has inadvertently picked up as a latent knowledge of God. Miller begins with the language of our own lives: seekers/questioners/”Nones” and “Somes” needs only to examine their lives, their human existence, to find God. Like a baseball player who has delved into physics while simply trying to get on base, humanity has inferred God’s existence from daily life. Building on the biblical principle that God’s existence is plain in what He has made, Hardwired explores fascinating and common presuppositions that we necessarily take for granted-that imply the existence of God-and Hardwired builds the case for our natural lives speaking of God with humor, metaphor, and whimsy. Hardwired will empower the layperson to find God without a Ph.D. It’s readable and even fun, even as it rests on a credible, scholarly foundation.

Pastoral Letters As Composite Documents
$129.00Add to cartThe authorship of the Pastoral Letters has long been a matter of intense scholarly debate. The arguments have centered on the question of whether Paul or a gifted pseudonymist composed these letters. Dr. Miller argues against both these positions, suggesting that no single author can be held responsible for much of this material. He takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour of biblical and extra-biblical sources, examining their literary histories, and concludes that the Pastorals are composite documents based on brief, but genuine, Pauline notes, written to Timothy and Titus.
