Vill du veta hur du kan svara när folk ställer frågor om din tro? Eller vågar du sällan prata med människor om tro, därför att du är osäker på hur du ska hantera invändningar och kritik? Kanske du själv ibland tvivlar på att det du tror på verkligen är sant?
I denna handbok i kristen apologetik får du hjälp att förklara och försvara kristen tro med filosofiska, vetenskapliga och historiska argument. Författaren William Lane Craig anses av många vara vår tids främste försvarare av kristen tro. Han tar upp fyra klassiska argument för Guds existens, lägger fram historiska bevis för Jesu anspråk och för hans uppståndelse, tar itu med lidandets problem och visar varför den religiösa relativismen inte håller. Längs vägen ger han dessutom inblickar i sin egen livsberättelse.
Till trons försvar vänder sig till icke-specialister och är pedagogiskt uppbyggd med faktarutor, samtalsfrågor, diagram och illustrationer. En guldgruva för alla som vill fördjupa sin tro!
”[Boken] är en lättillgänglig, engagerande och samtidigt djuplodande presentation av argumenten för kristen tro. Läs och låt dig berikas. Pröva argumenten och låt dig utmanas.” Ur Stefan Gustavssons förord
Om författaren: William Lane Craig är professor i filosofi vid Talbot School of Theology i Los Angeles, USA. Han är en internationellt erkänd föreläsare och debattör och har författat eller redigerat ett trettiotal böcker och över hundra akademiska artiklar. Till trons försvar är hans andra bok på svenska.

Är Gud ett moraliskt monster? Är religiösa människor mentalt sjuka? Är religion och vetenskap oförenliga?
Ja, åtminstone om man ska tro den nyateistiska rörelsen med Richard Dawkins i spetsen. Med flera storsäljande böcker har nyateismen skapat en livlig debatt om Gud, religion och moral.
Nyateismen menar att religionen är irrationell, ovetenskaplig och till och med ond. I denna antologi analyseras nyateismens budskap. Bokens författare – som är fysiker, biologer, filosofer, teologer och lärare – visar att nyateismens argumentation är minst sagt bristfällig och att den kristna världsbilden i högsta grad är förenlig med rationalitet, vetenskap och moral.
Gud och hans kritiker är en tydligt kristen kritik av nyateismens påståenden. Men boken vänder sig till alla som är intresserade av de stora frågorna om Gud, rationalitet, moral och vetenskap – oavsett om man betecknar sig som kristen, religiös, skeptiker eller ateist. Läs och ta del av ett stimulerande debattinlägg i en viktig fråga.
Om författaren: Mats Selander (red) är lärare vid CredoAkademin och doktorand i etik. Han har en masterexamen i religionsfilosofi och etik från Talbot School of Theology i Los Angeles, USA.

Contemporary science presents us with the remarkable theory that the universe began to exist about fifteen billion years ago with a cataclysmic explosion called `the Big Bang'. The question of whether Big Bang cosmology supports theism or atheism has long been a matter of discussion among the general public and in popular science books, but has received scant attention from philosophers. This book sets out to fill this gap by means of a sustained debate between two philosophers, William Lane Craig and Quentin Smith, who defend opposing positions. Craig argues that the Big Bang that began the universe was created by God, while Smith argues that the Big Bang has no cause. The book consists of alternating chapters by Craig and Smith, with each chapter being either a criticism of a preceding chapter or being criticized by a subsequent chapter. Part One consists of Craig's arguments that the past is necessarily finite and that God created the Big Bang, and Smith's criticisms of these arguments. Part Two presents Smith's arguments that Big Bang cosmology is inconsistent with theism and Craig's criticisms of Smith's argument. The authors' arguments are based on Einstein's theory of relativity, and there is also a discussion of Stephen Hawking's new quantum cosmology.

God Over All: Divine Aseity and the Challenge of Platonism is a defense of God's aseity and unique status as the Creator of all things apart from Himself in the face of the challenge posed by mathematical Platonism. After providing the biblical, theological, and philosophical basis for the traditional doctrine of divine aseity, William Lane Craig explains the challenge presented to that doctrine by the Indispensability Argument for Platonism, which postulates the existence of uncreated abstract objects. Craig provides detailed examination of a wide range of responses to that argument, both realist and anti-realist, with a view toward assessing the most promising options for the theist. A synoptic work in analytic philosophy of religion, this groundbreaking volume engages discussions in philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metaontology.

Questions about divine providence have preoccupied Christians for generations: to what degree does God concern himself with and intervene in the affairs of everyday life? This book introduces readers to four prevailing views on divine providence, with particular attention to the questions of human free will, the problem of evil, and God's perception of time.Volume contributors and their basic viewpoints are: Paul Helseth - God causes every creaturely event that occurs. William Lane Craig - through his "middle knowledge," God controls the course of worldly affairs without predetermining any creatures' free decisions.Ron Highfield - God controls creatures by liberating their decision-making. Gregory Boyd - human decisions can be free only if God neither determines nor knows what they will be.Introductory and closing essays by Dennis Jowers give relevant background and guide readers toward their own informed beliefs about divine providence.Four Views on Divine Providence helps readers think theologically and biblically about all the issues involved in exploring this doctrine. The point-counterpoint format reveals the assumptions and considerations that drive equally learned and sincere theologians to disagreement with each other. It unearths the genuinely decisive issues beneath a philosophically dense debate. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

In 2018, William Lane Craig and Erik J. Wielenberg participated in a debate at North Carolina State University, addressing the question: "God and Morality: What is the best account of objective moral values and duties?" Craig argued that theism provides a sound foundation for objective morality whereas atheism does not. Wielenberg countered that morality can be objective even if there is no God. This book includes the full debate, as well as endnotes with extended discussions that were not included in the debate. It also includes five chapters by other philosophers who have written substantive responses to the debate - J. P. Moreland, David Baggett, Mark Linville, Wes Morriston, and Michael Huemer. The book provides crucial resources for better understanding moral realism and its dependence on, or independence from, theistic foundations. Key Features A valuable debate about whether or not God is the best explanation for objective morality, bringing together theists and atheists working on the same subject who normally are not in conversation with each other. Includes clear coverage of ontological and epistemological issues in metaethical theories, focusing on Divine Command Theory and Non-natural Robust Moral Realism. Engaging and accessible throughout, making the book well suited for undergraduate and seminary classrooms.

In Do Numbers Exist? Peter van Inwagen and William Lane Craig take opposite sides on whether there are abstract objects, such as numbers and properties. Craig argues that there are no abstract objects, whereas Van Inwagen argues that there are. Their exchange explores various arguments about the existence and nature of abstract objects. They focus especially on whether our ordinary and scientific thought and talk commit us to abstract objects, surveying the options available to us and the objections each faces. The debate covers central problems and methods in metaphysics, and also delves into theological questions raised by abstract objects.Key Features:Showcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the existence of abstract objects, from two of the world’s leading philosophersPresents definitions in an easily accessible formProvides frequent summaries of previously covered materialIncludes a glossary of all specialized vocabulary

How did Christ's death overcome the estrangement and condemnation of sinners before a holy God, so as to reconcile them to Him? A great variety of theories of the atonement have been offered over the centuries to make sense of the fact that Christ by his death has provided the means of reconciliation with God: ransom theories, satisfaction theories, moral influence theories, penal substitution theories, and so on. Competing theories need to be assessed by (i) their accord with biblical data and (ii) their philosophical coherence.

"[...] the culmination of an impressive career in philosophy and theology. ... Craig's work will be highly valued and a great achievement, meriting significant attention."—Charles Taliaferro, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, St. Olaf College"William Lane Craig's landmark treatise on systematic philosophical theology is a major contribution to our understanding of the relation of philosophy and Christian doctrine and will be an essential reference point for future discussions."—Alister McGrath, Emeritus Idreos Professor of Science and Religion, Oxford UniversityA transformative journey through Christian doctrine, Volume I: On Scripture, On FaithWilliam Lane Craig's Systematic Philosophical Theology is a multi-volume explication of Christian doctrine in the classic Protestant tradition of the loci communes as seen through the lens of contemporary analytic philosophy. Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines.In the first volume of the series, Prolegomena, On Scripture, On Faith, Craig begins by introducing his conception of systematic philosophical theology, describing how it relates to biblical theology, dogmatics, fundamental theology, apologetics, and especially philosophy of religion. The chapters that follow defend the divine authority of Scripture, address the nature of faith, and discuss the rational justification for Christian faith. Throughout the text, Craig tackles cutting edge philosophical questions that arise naturally from Christian doctrine, such as the compatibility of biblical inspiration and human freedom and whether faith implies belief.

The first part, Volume IIa. Attributes of God, explores the coherence of theism. Conceiving of God as an infinite and personal being of maximal greatness, Craig carefully defines and explicates the divine attributes of incorporeality, necessity, aseity, simplicity, eternality, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and goodness.In the second part, Volume IIb. Excursus on Natural theology, The Trinity, Craig examines six arguments for God&'s existence, including the argument from contingency, the kalâm cosmological argument, the argument from the applicability of mathematics, the argument from cosmic fine-tuning, the moral argument, and the ontological argument, along with the problem of evil. Following the excursus, he transitions to an articulation and defence of Christian theism, formulating a biblical doctrine of the Trinity and offering a model of God as a tripersonal soul.

Presents a transformative journey through Christian doctrine William Lane Craig's Systematic Philosophical Theology is a multi-volume explication of Christian doctrine in the classic Protestant tradition of the loci communes as seen through the lens of contemporary analytic philosophy. Uniquely blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, these volumes aim to provide readers with a biblical and philosophically coherent articulation of a wide range of Christian doctrines. In Volume III, Craig continues his ambitious project of constructing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary theological system by exploring the doctrines of creation and humanity. Building on the metaphysical groundwork laid in the preceding volume concerning the existence and nature of God, Volume III investigates the implications of divine reality for everything that exists apart from God—particularly creation and human nature. Here, theology is not approached in isolation but in dialogue with contemporary philosophical reflection and cutting-edge scientific research, resulting in a work that speaks both to traditional theological concerns and modern intellectual contexts. Volume III is distinctive in its integration of theological loci—De creation and De homine—with insights from disciplines often underrepresented in systematic theology, including organic chemistry, evolutionary biology, neurology, and paleoanthropology. The treatment of topics such as divine providence, human origins, and the Imago Dei is shaped not only by philosophical rigor and biblical exegesis but also by a robust Molinist framework.
