Renowned theologian John Frame sheds much-needed light on the message and method of genuinely Christian apologetics in this landmark title. He insightfully examines apologetics in terms of proof, defense, and offense and clarifies the relationships of reason, proofs, and evidences to faith, biblical authority, and the lordship of Christ. Two subjects of particular note are Frame's fresh look at probability arguments and a stimulating investigation into the problem of evil.

As a result, we often find ourselves stuck in cyclical patterns of unproductive behaviors. We listen half-heartedly, react emotionally, and respond habitually, like we're on autopilot. This book is a practical guide for thoughtfully reflecting on conversations so we can avoid the common pitfalls that cause our relationships and work to go sideways.

A very small number of people with IQs of over 1,000 secretly live among us, concealing their extraordinary intelligence and mental powers.

Over the centuries, evil Geniuses have tried to control ordinary people, who they refer to as Ordinaries, and dominate the world. Good Geniuses have opposed them, defending the rights of Ordinaries to control their own destinies and live in freedom. A major confrontation between good and evil Geniuses is about to begin. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.

A biblical perspective on technology goes far deeper than how tools are used, and involves much more than the electronics that pervade today's world. Technology is, in fact, a foundational part of what it means to be human—and it extends back to the very beginning of Creation. Technology was included in what God declared "good." But like all things impacted by the fall, it has immense power to rewire us for good or bad. From the Garden to the City is back, moving beyond moralism in order to examine the very nature of technology as essentially human and totally transformative.

Miller, a Christian scholar, political theorist, veteran, and former White House staffer, provides a detailed portrait of—and case against—Christian nationalism.

Christian nationalism is an illiberal political theory, at odds with the genius of the American experiment, and could prove devastating to both church and state.
