Unfortunately, most of this excellent work has not reached general readers. Reason for the Hope Within was produced specifically to make available the best of contemporary Christian philosophy in a clear, accessible—and highly relevant—manner. Fourteen of America's rising Christian philosophers cover many of the traditional themes of Christian apologetics as well as topics of special relevance to today's world: - the problem of evil - the possibility of miracles - the existence of heaven and hell - Eastern religions - Religion and science - Christianity and ethics Reason for the Hope Within provides readers with the most up-to-date resources for thinking about and defending the Christian faith.
