Christians rely on the Bible for information on both their most basic understanding of reality and in determining right and wrong in their decision-making. But can you rely on the Bible? Evidence for the Bible is the first volume in the Consider Christianity series, written by Elgin Hushbeck, Jr. It discusses the evidence for the inspiration and reliability of the Bible and deals with objections. It is clear and forceful but also invites dialogue on this key issue of the Christian faith. Chapter titles are: How Did We Get the Bible The Bible and Modern Criticism Archeology and the Bible Science vs. Religion Science and the Bible Is the Bible Reliable The Word of God or the Speculations of Men There is a clear reader's guide at the beginning of the book to indicate what is covered in each chapter, giving readers a way to move quickly to the topics that most interest or concern them. There is also an extensive index of topics. This 3rd edition is revised and expanded and includes discoveries from the nearly twenty years since the 2nd edition was released. You'll find a discussion of advancing scientific observations and theories, including early results from the James Webb telescope. Pastors, Sunday School teachers, Christian education directors, and youth leaders will not want to miss this book.

Francis Andrew has completed a monumental ten year task of writing appraisals on all of the published works of the late Sir Fred Hoyle. It is truly a worthwhile accomplishment as all of Hoyles books are now out of print. Francis Andrews work therefore offers a great service in preserving the thoughts of one the twentieth centurys greatest minds. Gihan, Weerasekara. Dompe, Sri Lanka. A Great Man of Great Science covers all of Sir Fred Hoyles publications from his fi rst in 1950 to his last in 2001. Francis Andrews appraisal of each of these works is the next best thing to reading the original works of Hoyle himself. After reading these appraisals, one could well be tempted to take the next step and read the actual works of Hoyle. Siddhant Bahuguna. Uttar Pradesh, India. Francis A. Andrew has truly done a magnificent job in writing appraisals for each of Sir Fred Hoyles works. As Francis style of writing has done so much to make Hoyle come alive and inject into his works a relevancy for the twenty fi rst century, so it would be that even if readers of this volume were unacquainted with any of Hoyles books, they would surely be tempted to procure for themselves the original works of Hoyle.

In its first edition, Consider Christianity by Elgin L. Hushbeck, Jr. presented a basic defense of the Christian faith suitable for use by the thoughtful layman or the clergyman in need of answers to key questions about the reasons for faith. In this new edition from Energion Publications, he has reorganized and expanded the material, and divided it into two volumes. This volume is the first and deals with the Bible, its inspiration and authority. Hushbeck presents the evidence clearly, leading the reader to a clear understanding of how the Bible was produced, and why it can be taken as a reliable foundation for Christian faith.

In the year 2015, 100 years after Fred Hoyle was born, the ideas relating to the cosmic origins of life are slowly gaining credence in scientific circles. Once regarded as outrageous heresy, evidence from a variety of disciplines — astronomy, geology, biology — is converging to support these once heretical ideas.This volume opens with recent review articles pointing incontrovertibly towards our cosmic heritage, followed by a collection of published articles tracing the development of the theory throughout the years. The discovery that microorganisms — bacteria and viruses — are incredibly resistant to the harshest conditions of space, along with the detection of an estimated 144 billion habitable planets around other star systems in our galaxy alone, makes it virtually impossible to maintain that life on one planet will not interact with life elsewhere. The emerging position is that life arose exceedingly rarely, possibly only once, in the history of the cosmos, but its subsequent spread was unstoppable. 'Panspermiology' can no longer be described as an eccentric doctrine, but rather is the only doctrine supported by an overwhelming body of evidence. Fred Hoyle's work in this area may in the fullness of time come to be regarded as his most important scientific contribution.
