How Great Thou Art: Recommended Resources
I wrote these studies using a variety of sources, some of them books
and some online articles. Below are the ones that helped guide my
research the most.
Books
- "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" by Norman Geisler
and Frank Turek - Broadly covers a lot of the topics I'm going over.
I used it quite a bit in preparing this study.
- "Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics" by Norman
Geisler - I didn't actually use this in preparing my study, but from
what I've read since then it seems to be a thorough reference covering
many issues relating to Biblical theology, including those regarding
science and evidence.
- "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel - I'm not really a
fan of his overly colloquial writing style, but this book has a number
of good interviews that discuss evidences for Christianity from history,
archeology, and manuscripts.
- "The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell
- Covers a ton of topics but doesn't go very deep and not terribly easy
to read. Good as a starting point for further research.
- "The Miracles of Exodus" by Colin Humphreys - Interesting
look at several OT miracles and the physical processes God may have
used to accomplish them.
- "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael Behe - One of the more significant
works in the Intelligent Design movement. Good scientific look at some
of the shortcomings of the theory of macroevolution.
- "The Naked Emperor: Darwinism Exposed" by Antony Latham
- Another good book pointing out gaping holes in the theory of macroevolution.
- "Macrodelusion?"
by me ;-). Ok, not exactly a book, but this was my project for technical
writing this summer. I take a brief look at evolution and intelligent
design and address some of the more significant arguments from both
sides.
Websites
- http://www.answersincreation.org/
- An old-earth creationist website that I tend to agree with. A couple
of my studies will discuss these issues, and although I've become convinced
that the old-earth understanding is most likely the correct one, the
overall series doesn't require that you agree.
- http://www.reasons.org/
- Another old-earth (specifically progressive creationist) website that
I find pretty convincing, although I don't agree with their founder
(Hugh Ross) on everything.
- http://www.uncommondescent.com/
- Intelligent Design weblog.
- http://www.talkorigins.org/
- Excellent resource for reading pro-macroevolution arguments. Obviously
I don't agree with many of their conclusions, but we can't expect to
effectively address these issues if we don't know where the other side
is coming from. I used this as a guide in finding where the prominent
points of debate were.
