Atheism has seen a resurgence in the last decade or so in its publicity--if not also its popularity--due in large part to the New Atheism (names like Hitchens, Dawkins, Dennett and Harris) and most recently Stephen Hawking with his argument against the necessary existence of God in The Grand Design. Yet for every volley leveled at theism in general and Christianity in particular, there is are equally capable minds ready to pick up the gauntlet and offer return fire.

There are questions being asked today that we can't afford to ignore. Is faith irrational? Are miracles possible? Can people be good without God?

Jonathan Edwards offered this assertion: "There is no one thing whatsoever more plain and manifest, and more demonstrable, than the being of God. It is manifest in ourselves, in our bodies and souls, and in everything about us wherever we turn our eye, whether to heaven, or to the earth, the air, or the seas. And yet how prone is the heart of man to call this into question! So inclined is the heart of man to blindness and delusion, that it is prone to even atheism itself."

Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow were certainly ambitious with this project as they cover a wide range of topics that have had volumes written on them individually, but they are quite effective in doing so.
