Over the past couple of weeks, we have quietly released many new apologetics-related resources for Logos Bible Software. Some of these are brand new to the platform and a few are re-releases. Here’s a quick round-up of these titles…
Cults & Religions
Religions A to Z – Quick, what’s the Emergent Church movement? Falun Gong? How about Shambhala or Rastafarianism? This book, by the author of Nelson’s Illustrated Guide to Religions, gives you the lowdown on the religions, movements, cults and denominations that shape our world. Far from a dry rehearsal of facts, the author provides a lively engagement with each of the religions from a Christian point of view.
- Mormonism & Jehovah’s Witness – Formerly available as part of the Baker Digital Reference Library (an old Logos Library System product), these eight books have been rebuilt for Libronix and re-released for individual purchase. They are extremely detailed and practical guides for witnessing. If you spend some time with these volumes, you’ll probably know more about the history and writings of these groups than the person who comes knocking on your door.

Creation/Evolution/Science
Bible and Spade Collection – 30 years’ worth of archaeological journals from the Holy Land. The organization behind this journal–Associates for Biblical Research –has as its stated mission to strengthen the faith and biblical understanding of Christians. If you enjoy archaeology for its own sake, or as part of the larger conversation about creation and the Bible’s historicity, you’ll want to pick this one up.
- Dennis Gordon Lindsay on Creationism – 10 volumes on the topic of creationism and evolutionism. If you purchased a Logos base product prior to May 2006, you probably already have these. But if not, they are now available for individual purchase via download.
The Genesis Factor – Taking a different approach to life’s big questions, the authors of this book use the Socratic method to help readers engage in a “conversation” with the book of Genesis.
Engaging the Culture
Christian Ethics in Plain Language – Author Kerby Anderson offers a survey of Christian ethics followed by 18 chapters addressing important ethical issues that are a hotly debated today.
I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist – Well-known author Norman Geisler and Frank Turek throw down the gauntlet for skeptics by exposing and challenging their dearly-held beliefs, then arguing that Christianity is the most reasonable worldview.
Reasonable Faith – One of the heavyweights among apologetics resources, this volume by William Lane Craig serves as a textbook in apologetic or philosophy of religion courses. As Craig explains in the preface, this work is intended to “fill the gaps” left in traditional theological education and works of systematic theology. Here he addresses the apologetic angle of each major theological topic in post-Reformation Protestant theology: faith, man, God, creation, and Christ.
