Overview

In this remarkable series of lectures, Dr. Stanley D. Walters, archaeological and ancient language scholar, makes clear the historical, logical, textual, and archaeological evidences supporting Christian belief. By providing hard facts and clear thinking, Walters's insightful lectures meet the four criteria of a good argument. The information and evidence he presents are: (1) directly relevant to the argument that the New Testament is historically accurate; (2) acceptable to a wide range of scholars, many of whom are not believers; (3) sufficient in kind and weight to justify the conclusion that the claims of Christ and Christianity are true; and (4) robust rebuttals to the strongest counterarguments against the claims of Christ and the Christian faith. These lectures have bolstered the faith of thousands and have provided logical ammunition to a society that has moved from something we might call post-Christian to post-reason. Accessible and evergreen, they are the mother lode of reasons for why Christianity is the answer to society's woes. This volume is presented with the hope that Christians will always be prepared to make a reasoned defense to anyone who asks for an account for the hope that is within them, and will do it with gentleness and reverence (1 Peter 3:15).
