Apologetics Study Bible Notes: Understand Why You Believe: Real Questions, Straight Answers, Stronger Faith / October 01, 2007

See Apologetics Study Bible at-a-glance.

The Apologetics Study Bible reveals flaws in today’s bizarre worldviews while it helps readers grasp the depth of biblical insight on each and every issue. More than 100 articles relate biblical truth to science, history, archaeology, psychology, philosophy, and other critical subjects. Strategically placed alongside the text of Scripture, this expert commentary includes:

• “How Does Christianity Relate to Hinduism?” by former Hindu Ravi Zacharias;
• “Is There Evidence for Life After Death?” by Christian Research Institute founder Hank Hanegraaff;
• “Evolution: Fact or Fantasy?” by Phillip E. Johnson, author of Darwin on Trial;
• “How Should a Christian Relate to Culture?” by Prison Fellowship founder and president Chuck Colson;
• “Are Jesus’ Claims Unique Among the Religions of the World?” by Liberty University professor Gary Habermas;
• “Does the Design Argument Show There Is a God?” by philosopher William Dembski;
• “How Apologetics Changed My Life!” by best-selling author Lee Strobel.

Profiles of key historic defenders of the faith highlight the clear-headed thinking Christians through the centuries have brought to bear on objections to faith. Profiles of key Christian apologists include:

• Anselm
• Athanasius
• Augustine
• Joseph Butler
• C.S. Lewis
• Irenaeus
• Justin Martyr
• Origen
• William Paley
• Blaise Pascal

Philosopher and Apologetics Study Bible general editor Ted Cabal observes that we live “in the golden era of Christian apologetics.” There has never before been so much scientific, archaeological, and historical support for the unique truth of biblical Christianity. The Apologetics Study Bible will open your eyes to new reasons to believe, a stronger commitment to faith, and better ways to witness for the Creator of it all.

Note: While the printed version of the Apologetics Study Bible contains the biblical text of the Holman Christian Standard Bible, this module does not include the biblical text.  It contains all the Notes, Articles, Biographies, and Charts/Maps of the printed version.  The Bible Study Notes of this module can be linked to run in parallel with any Accordance Bible translation (including HCSB.)

Praise for the printed version
“Christians in the 21st century, as never before, must know what they believe and why they believe. They must be able to define and defend the faith. The ASB will help equip a new generation of believers to do that with competency and conviction.” – Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

“When we share our faith with others, we often run into Bible passages that raise difficult questions. The Apologetics Study Bible deals with such problems in footnotes right at the bottom of the page. It also provides discussions of more general questions like the existence of God and the problem of evil…The Apologetics Study Bible is a useful tool for Christian witness.” – Dr. John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary

“The Apologetics Study Bible is the best single resource available for defending the Faith. It is like having an apologetics library at your fingertips, an indispensable volume that is both scholarly and user-friendly. Destined to become the ‘gold standard’ among study Bibles.” – R. Alan Streett, The W.A. Criswell Chair of Expository Preaching, Criswell College
