Science, Philosophy and Jesus Christ: Novel Ideas in Christian Apologetics in Connection with Modern Physics, Plato, and History - Paperback

by James Thomas Ivey (Foreword by), James Frederick Ivey MD (Author)

Recent advances in modern physics, relativity, and quantum mechanics have revolutionized the reasoning about the likelihood of God's existence and brought an entirely fresh way of thinking about the subject. In The New Apologetics of Jesus Christ, author James Frederick Ivey, MD, dissects these new ways of thinking in an upbeat format that is accessible to the layman yet deeply challenging for the seasoned apologist.

With chapters such as "Treasure in Heaven," "The Mind of Christ," and "The Alpha and Omega," Ivey presents a thorough apologetic of the Christian faith, explaining how the philosophies of Socrates and Plato meld nearly seamlessly with the belief in a single God and even with Judeo-Christianity itself. Concluding with a chapter tackling many common questions presented by skeptics, this imaginative book is dedicated to clarifying the Bible's message of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

For fans of C. S. Lewis and Dr. John Polkinghorne, this second in a series on Christian apologetics will serve as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to increase their defense of the Christian faith.
