Answering Tough Questions The
10 Keys for Unlocking the Bible study intentionally avoids
apologetics issues such as creation vs. evolution or the evidence for
the Bible.
The goal of the 10 Keys study is simply to present what the Bible
says. The Bible is living and active and has power within itself to
impact people.
But some participants in the 10 Keys for Unlocking the Bible study
will have legitimate questions about these kinds of issues. It is
important to provide additional resources that will address their intellectual
questions and concerns. Here are some of the resources that you may
want to consider.
Books:
The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel
Strobel, a former atheist and investigative reporter for the Chicago
Tribune recounts his own investigation of the historical evidence
for Jesus. If someone wants evidence for the credibility of the
Bible or
Christ's life, death and resurrection, this is a great place to
direct them.
The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel
In this sequel, Strobel tackles eight objections to Christianity that
he needed answered before he could embrace Christ. Here are a few
of the common objections he deals with:
- Since Evil and Suffering Exist, a Loving God Cannot
- Evolution Explains Life, So God Isn’t Needed
- It’s Offensive to Claim Jesus is the Only Way to God
- A Loving God Would Never Torture People in Hell
- And more
