Dive into the complex and sometimes dangerous waters of Christian doctrine. Contending for the Truth deals with many of the doctrines that are either highly debated or are commonly held beliefs that do not hold up to scrutiny.

In this book, theology meets apologetics as 13 contentious topics are dissected to discover what Scripture says about them. But be warned The truth may come as a shock to those who are unprepared. Are you ready to be challenged in your faith? In Contending for the Truth, you will find answers to questions like:

• Is the Bible truly inerrant?
• Is the moral argument worth having in our apologetics repertoire?
• Who are the sons of God in Genesis 6?
• Is biblical revelation an effective method for determining the origins of the universe?
