As Christians, such a statement is at the crux of our faith. But what exactly do we believe and why? What is the truth that forms the foundations of our purpose in humanity and our sustenance as believers?
Perhaps you have found yourself reexamining your beliefs as you seek to share your faith with others. Maybe you have found yourself asking such questions in the excitement of beginning a relationship with Christ or your thirsting for a deeper walk.
Regardless of the circumstances, it is vital for anyone studying Christianity to understand the basic elements of faith and the foundation that supports its truths.
In A Case for Christianity, Morris Inch has outlined this foundation plank by plank. Throughout the book, Inch uses scriptural references and cites recognizable authors and experts to “nail” his planks in place.
By first establishing his meaning of truth and experiencing God as well as providing a brief history of apologetics, Inch helps the reader understand how the Christian faith has developed to the present day. Then, Inch turns to building a case for Christianity and uses the following topics to strengthen his arguments.
Inch establishes that Christianity is eminently credible and makes his case for Christianity in that it “passes the philosophic criteria with highest honors; it focuses on the incomparable figure of Jesus; it draws credibility from accumulative evidence; and it satisfies the conditions of trust.”
