Böcker i The Big Ten-serien

The Bible is a cobbled‿together selection of ancient writings that have been changed so many times by so many people over hundreds of years that surely the text can no longer be trusted ‿ right? Certainly, there are plenty of people who take this view. Timothy Paul Jones here addresses the fact that the Bible is a difficult book to believe. It is full of incidents that seem highly improbable, if not impossible. Written for people who are sceptical of its accuracy,and of its authority, this book takes a reasonable look at the claims made about the Bible.

Some people boldly claim, “Christianity is fine for some, but it isn‿t for meâ€?. Others feel it is just outdated and irrelevant. For better or worse, everyone in the Western world has come into contact with Christianity: we all have some opinion on it. James Anderson, with a clear, humorous logic, explores what Christianity really claims, and shows the underlying reason and consistency behind these claims. By the end of Why Should I Believe Christianity?, while you may not agree with the Christian worldview, it is impossible to be left sitting on the fence.

Atheists often level charges at the God of the Bible as being angry and hateful. They claim that God condones genocide, that He is a cruel and oppressive megalomaniac, but this doesn‿t seem to match what Christians claim about Him being a God of love. How can a God who provides and saves also wipe out entire nations? Richard Belcher‿s addition to the Big Ten series addresses these commonly asked questions. He begins by laying out how God created humanity in His own image,but we chose to reject Him. Our very sense that things are not fair points to the perfect justice of God. Belcher shows that God‿s justice, including expressions of anger against wrongdoing, is compatible with His love and goodness.  Belcher then tackles specific texts in the Bible that seem to promote genocide and oppression and shows how the God of the Old Testament is the same loving, generous, gracious God that we meet in the person of Jesus Christ.  An excellent read for any who struggle to answer questions about the character of God and for those looking to bolster their faith in the God of the Bible.
