Trusting Genesis and the Gospels

This book addresses three vital subjects in regards to the Christian faith. The first is the reliability of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible and of the Old Testament, and most specifically its teachings about divine creation. That relates to the issue of science and the Bible in general. The second subject is the reliability of the Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament of the Holy Bible, and most specifically their claims about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is much contention about these two issues. This book will explain and defend the Biblical position on each. The first, divine creation, is in contrast to atheistic evolution. These two beliefs about the origins of the universe and of humanity are inherently contradictory, and there are dramatic and differing implications from each belief system. As such, a study of them is crucial in deciding upon one's worldview. The second, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Upon it, all other Christian doctrines stand, and without it, there is no Christian faith. The evidence for the resurrection and related issues will be addressed in this book. The preceding leads to the third subject of this book, "Forgiveness and Salvation in Christ." Since God is our Creator, we are answerable to Him. And we have all sinned against Him. But Jesus' resurrection demonstrated that God accepted Christ's death as a sufficient sacrifice for our sins. We can thus be forgiven and saved by trusting in His death and resurrection. Together, these three sections make this book ideal for evangelism. It will show seekers and doubters there are answers to their questions on these subjects and their need for salvation.
