Christianity Contested

“Copan and Kelly have chosen a wonderful lineup of relevant topics in the forefront of contemporary discussions about Christianity. These include difficult objections to the Bible and Christianity, scientific and historical evidence supporting God’s existence and the truth of Christianity, and sex and gender hot button issues. Moreover, the editors have chosen excellent contributors to address each of these important topics. Highly recommended!”
 —Michael Licona, professor of New Testament studies, Houston Christian University

“This is an extraordinary collection of vigorous essays defending Christianity against historical and contemporary objections. Especially recommended for critics of Christianity and open-minded inquirers.”
—Charles Taliaferro, Emeritus Overby Distinguished Professor, St. Olaf College

“This excellent volume tackles the most challenging questions confronting the Christian faith, offering deeply insightful and well-argued responses from a distinguished group of world-class scholars. A must-read for anyone—scholar or layperson—seeking to engage thoughtful answers to difficult questions.”
—John C. Peckham, research professor of theology and Christian philosophy, Andrews University

“This intelligent and well-crafted book draws together a range of different experts to address the most pressing objections to Christianity on the market today. All thoughtful Christians will benefit from considering these high-quality essays so that they are ‘prepared to make a defense’ (I Peter 3:15). Highly recommended!”
—Gavin Ortlund, theologian-in-residence, Immanuel Nashville

“There’s virtually no topic in the contemporary debates that’s not covered in this terrific volume. What’s more, each essay is written accessibly but also embedded in the current scholarly literature. Consequently, the reader will be well-equipped to contend for the faith. This is now my top recommendation for those who wish to go deeper than what the popular-level literature has to offer.”
—Travis Dickinson, professor of philosophy, Dallas Baptist University
