Christian Confession And The Crackling Thorn
$22.50
Print on demand title
What is man, and what relationship does man have to God? Was man always as he is now? Is there no escape from our headlong descent into misery, brutality, enslavement to sin, death, and eternal darkness? Is there any sure guide, any solid ground for hope, any light which the darkness of this world cannot overcome?Professor Vickers’s answers to such questions are a welcome addition to the literature of Christian apologetics. His approach is clearly rooted in the writings of Cornelius Van Til, formerly professor of apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary.
Like Van Til, Vickers presents his Reformed convictions in large, biblical terms that offer a positive challenge, sure to engage the hearts and minds of Christians from many backgrounds.Christian Confession and the Crackling Thorn scripturally and intelligently defends the old and yet ever new imperatives of the Christian faith and provides intellectual and spiritual fiber to defend that faith with unbelieving friends and associates. It is recommended first to believers who wish to answer the call of the apostle Peter to be ready always “to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.” It is also recommended to the non-Christian reader, whose interest may only be to know what today’s Christians may have to say, or who, at a deeper level, desires to share in the hope that is unique to the Christian faith.

Person Of Interest
$24.99Dateline featured cold-case detective and best-selling author J. Warner Wallace investigates Jesus, the most significant person in history, like one of his “missing body, cold-cases,” demonstrating why Jesus still matters today, even in a world that is skeptical of the Bible.
Detective J. Warner Wallace listened to a pastor talk about Jesus and wondered why anyone would think Jesus was a person of interest.
Wallace was skeptical of the Bible, but he’d investigated several “no-body, missing person” cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim’s body. He successfully identified and convicted the killers in these cases, even without evidence from the scene.
Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way? Could the truth about Jesus be uncovered even without a body or a crime scene? In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, as he employs a unique investigative strategy to confirm the historicity and deity of Jesus–without relying on the New Testament manuscripts.
Imagining a scenario in which every New Testament document has been destroyed, Wallace carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone to reconstruct the identity of Jesus as the world’s most important person of interest.
Person of Interest will:
*Invite readers into the life of a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same approach he also employs to solve a real murder case*Teach readers how to become good detectives, using an innovative and unique “‘fuse’ and ‘fallout'” investigative strategy they can also use to examine other claims of history
*Show how Jesus changed the world and why He still matters today
*Help readers to explore common objections to Christianity
Creative, compelling, and unique in its approach, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers, while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.
