God, Man, the Bible & Life

Speaking to a mixed audience of Christians, religious pluralists, skeptics and inquirers at the national universities of Costa Rica, Steven R. Martins, founding director of the C ntaro Institute, delivered a series of lectures relating to the truthfulness of the Christian worldview.

In this collection of lectures, entitled God, Man, the Bible & Life, Martins answers the questions: Can we trust the Bible to be God's infallible and inspired word? How does Jesus' exclusivist claims measure up against other religious worldviews in our pluralist age? Can man live without the God of Christianity? And how do we reconcile a sovereign and good God with the evil in our world? Also included is a paper that was submitted on the Muslim and Christian mind, an analytical comparison between the epistemological foundations of Islam and Christianity.

Altogether Martins' unifying thesis is that the truthfulness of the Christian worldview is based on the impossibility of the contrary.
