Description: It can be difficult to answer questions about the Christian faith-even for Christians who regularly read their Bibles and attend church. What can they say to a skeptic who questions Christian doctrine or truth claims? What about young Christians who want answers to their tough questions? Without a Doubt covers questions on everything from the doctrine of the incarnation to religious pluralism, from evolution to moral relativism, with rational answers for even the most stubborn skeptic. Chapters contain charts, relevant biblical texts, and outlines to help readers grasp key ideas relevant to proclaiming the gospel to an unbeliever or discussing doctrine with another Christian. One of the unique aspects of Christianity is that it stands up to honest intellectual scrutiny. Wiithout a Doubt offers solid, succinct answers to twenty classic questions that challenge the Christian faith, including:
-
God’s Existence
-
Creation and the Universe
-
The Historical Veracity of Scripture
-
Jesus Chrst’s True identity
-
God as Trinity
-
Faith vs. Science
-
God and Evil
-
Christianity and Other Religions
Authorities ranging from prophets and philosophers to scientists and the Scriptures provide rational explanations and compelling evidences for those who have questions about their faith or question faith altogether.
"Samples exhibits the virtues of charity and intellectual integrity along with a deep understanding of the sorts of challenges to the Christian faith that are offered in our contemporary world and must be met by the serious Christian. Without a Doubt is a wonderful work."
-Francis J. Beckwith, Baylor University, author of Relativism
"Without a Doubt fills a specific void in the apologetic literature. It brings together a very careful research with a reader-friendly style. A great read for anyone interested in answers to some of life's most puzzling questions."
-J.P. Moreland, Talbot School of Theology, author of Love God with All Your Mind
"Rarely does one find such an array of issues and quality responses under one cover, all ready for person use of in addressing questions or challenges."
-Gary R. Habbermas, Liberty University, Author of Historical Jesus.
"...A long time ago when I served several churches as pastor, having this book would have been a big help to me. The material in it could also have improved any number of sermons I've heard over the last fifty years. When you have been around as long as I've been, you know this information is somewhere. But where? Chances are a person can find what they are looking for in this resource. Without a doubt can be helpful to laypeople who are looking for solid material to share with students. And speaking of students, I can easily think of several college and seminary courses that could be improved by using Samples' book as a text."

-Dr. Ronald Nash
This is some of the clearest, precise and useful writing on the subject of apologetics we have ever come across. Samples hits the nail on the head. We highly recommend this book to all Christians who want to more simply and effectively communicate their faith and worldview to their friends.
