| Why it’s on the list | A popular apologetics text that builds its case in stages — knowable truth, a universe with a beginning, fine-tuning, objective morality, early New Testament documents, the resurrection as best explanation — arguing that unbelief carries the heavier evidential burden. The standard entry point into evidentialist apologetics. |
Where I heard about it
- Charlie Kirk — named it among his must-read books, captured in @NJBeisner’s video (September 2025) and @j_bambrick’s compilation of every book Kirk recommended.
About this edition
A weaker recommendation than most: on the list I transcribed, this title sits under a separate heading — “Never read but recommended” — so it is a book Kirk passed on without having read it, rather than one he vouched for from experience. The list also carries the aside “(a friend wrote it)” against it.
Connections
- Apologetics — the genre, and the tradition this book popularised for a general audience.
- Atheism — the position the argument is aimed at.
- Christianity — the conclusion the chain of arguments is built toward.
- Faith — the word the title is contesting the meaning of.
