While dealing with theological liberalism, a foothold was needed in order to define how to use reason when looking at the scriptural texts. Alexander made a huge leap forward in this work to justify how to use reason to defend the faith and also justify the miracles that are contained with the Bible. Although even today these works are still under attack, this work is a step forward.

Whether Jesus was really the Son of God or not is a central question for Christians-and one that has provoked heated debate since the time of Jesus' birth. Dean L. Overman examines the earliest Christian records to build a compelling case for the divinity of Jesus. Addressing questions raised by books such as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus and Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels, Overman builds a carefully reasoned case for Jesus truly being the Son of God.
