Perfect as a textbook yet excellent for lay readers, thisupdated edition builds a positive case for Christianity by applyingthe latest thought to core theological themes.
J. Gresham Machen once said, "False ideas are the greatestobstacles to the reception of the gospel"-which makes apologeticsthat much more important. Wanting to engage not just academics andpastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig hasrevised and updated key sections in this third edition of hisclassic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics,philosophy, probability calculus, the arguments for the existenceof God, and Reformed epistemology.
His approach-that of positive apologetics-gives carefulattention to crucial questions and concerns, including: therelationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, theproblems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claimsof Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. Heshows that there is good reason to think Christianity is true. AsCraig says, "If you have a sound and persuasive case forChristianity, you don't have to become an expert in comparativereligions and Christian cults. A positive justification of theChristian faith automatically overwhelms all competing world viewslacking an equally strong case."
An excellent choice for a rational and systematic defense of the Christian faith. Written by one of the top Christian theologians in an easier-to-read style, this expanded edition discusses the relationship between faith and reason, covering important core beliefs. This resource includes a new chapter on the validity of New Testament documents.

This is probably the best book on apologetics that I have ever read! Craig is the embodiment of modern scholarship. Reasonable Faith is a must for anyone looking for a good, solid representation of the Christian world view. The book will challenge the beginner as well as the veteran and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a solid book on the subject.

I am 92.6 percent of the way through the book. It, so far is awesome. It takes quite assiduous concentration to fully understand the concepts. Be ready to be challenged. He is definitely erudite.

The arguments advanced in this book have been refuted so many times by so many thinkers, that it is incomprehensible that anyone would still use them.
Simply do a google search of "refuting william lane craig", you will then see how weak his arguments are. You will also save some money.
