No longer are questioners satisfied with evidence that Christianity is true. They also want to know if it’s relevant and, most importantly . . . if it’s good. In Christianity Cross-Examined, Kenneth R. Samples boldly steps into the courtroom where Christianity is on trial. Going beyond merely presenting a systematic case for the Christian faith, Samples dives into specific accusations against it, from the conventional (If God created everything, then who created God?) to the controversial (Why doesn’t the Bible condemn slavery?). Does Christianity stand up under cross-examination? You be the judge. Professor Samples is a philosopher, theologian, and senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe, an organization that researches and communicates how the divinely inspired words of the Bible harmonize with reason and the facts of nature. He holds degrees in philosophy, social science, and an MA in theological studies. He is also the author of many numerous books listed below.

Classical Apologetics: With Dr. Ken SamplesIn this theology podcast Kenneth R. Samples (a scholar from Reasons to Believe) joins Josh Lewis on The Remnant Radio to discuss the classical Apologetic arguments. We discuss the Cosmological Argument, the Teleological argument, the Ontological argument, the Moral Argument, the Transcendental Argument, and Presuppositional Arguments.Cosmological argument – Argues that the existence of the universe demonstrates that God exists. Various primary arguments from cosmology and the nature of causation are often offered to support the cosmological argument.Teleological argument – Argues that there is a purposeful design in the world around us, and a design requires a designer.Ontological argument – Argues that the very concept of God demands that there is an actual existent God.Moral Argument – Argues that there are objectively valid moral values, and therefore, there must be an absolute from which they are derived.Transcendental Argument – Argues that all our abilities to think and reason require the existence of God.Presuppositional Arguments – Argues that the basic beliefs of theists and non-theists require God as a necessary precondition.As a Reasons to Believe scholar Ken has a great passion to help people understand and see the truth and relevance of Christianity's truth-claims. His writings and lectures at Reasons to Believe focus on showing how the great doctrinal truths of the faith (the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Atonement, creation ex nihilo, salvation by grace, etc.) are uniquely compatible with reason. This approach reflects the historic Christian apologetic statement - "faith seeking understanding."
