Do you want to improve your reasoning ability as a Christian?  Christian apologist Jason Lisle has written for us an introduction to the laws of logic.  Some who read this review might be thinking: Christian and logic?  Yes the two are compatible.  Jason Lisle’s book on logic follow a long tradition of Christian works on logic such as hymn writer Isaac Watts in 1725 with his Logic: The Right Use of Reason in the Inquiry after Truth, Methodist founder John Wesley’s A Compendium Of Logic, and Gordon Clark’s textbook on logic, etc.  Jason Lisle himself is an astrophysicist who is involved with Creation ministries and previously I enjoyed his book titled Ultimate Proof that give a detailed introduction to Presuppositional Apologetics.  Seeing how good Dr Lisle writes I was looking for a book that I can introduced my daughters to the laws of logic and critical thinking and this book exceeded my expectation!

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God (Men’s Conference): Jason Lisle

If you have followed this blog for any time you know I highly recommend the Christian apologist Jason Lisle who wrote the book The Ultimate Proof which I reviewed here.

For those who want to hear him teach this revolutionary and biblical way of doing apologetics (called Presuppositional apologetics and first advocated by Cornelius Van Til) before you read the book you might be happy to know he recently taught at a men’s conference which teaching the church has made available online!

Cave To The Cross Apologetics on Bible Contradictions

Two Christian brothers Tony and Patrick have a show on Christian apologetics.  They have been going over Jason Lisle’s book Keeping Faith in the Age of Reason.  Lisle’s book looks at alleged Bible contradictions and respond to them.

Now some of you might know our blog responds to alleged Bible contradictions as our long term project to look at them ourselves in the original language and respond exegetically for a few years now.  Still it is good to know others have also responded to these internet lists of contradictions (Dr. Lisle, these two believers running the Cave to the Cross show, etc).

Here are some samples of the videos:

The Ultimate Proof of Creation Discussion Guide: Table of Contents

I somehow forgot to make a table of contents for the discussion guide but putting it up now.

Below are links to posts with questions that might be helpful for individuals and small groups to facilitate discussions and learning based upon the apologetics’ book “Ultimate Proof of Creation” by Jason Lisle.  It is a book that teaches Presuppositional apologetics that engages apologetics at the level of worldview.  Cornelius Van Til was instrumental in beginning this form of apologetics and others have developed and applied it.  I recommend this book and you can read my review here.  At this time I think this is THE book that I would recommend as an introduction to Presuppositional Apologetics.

Review: The Ultimate Proof of Creation: Resolving the Origins Debate

Finally a review of this book!

Jason Lisle. The Ultimate Proof of Creation: Resolving the Origins Debate.  Green Forest, AK: Master Books, September 15th 2009. 254 pp.

5 out of 5

Purchase: Amazon

This book was very helpful in terms of learning Presuppositional apologetics.  The author Jason Lisle is an astrophysicist who have over the years written and taught a lot on Christian apologetics and creation.  He has done the church a great service writing this book.  How good is this book?  Before when people ask me for a recommended book on Presuppositional apologetics I recommended Greg Bahnsen’s book Always Ready.  I still recommend Greg Bahnsen’s work but now I feel I want to recommend this book by Dr. Lisle first since the author has done a good job breaking it down as simple and organized as possible.
