  • Roy Zuck Vital Issues Series (12 vols.) Featuring: A veritable who’s-who of highly esteemed contributing evangelical writers

When it comes to giving a reasoned defense of one’s faith, it helps to have reliable guidance through the critical issues of apologetics such as philosophical questions regarding the Christian faith or biblical reliability. Vital Apologetic Issues: Examining Reason and Revelation in Biblical Perspective draws upon the insights and study of numerous evangelical scholars and writers to answer crucial questions in the field of Christian apologetics.

Some of the chapters included:

  • “The Nature and Origin of Evil” by Robert D. Culver – Chapter 1.
  • “Biblical Naturalism and Modern Science” by Henry M. Morris – Chapter 5
  • Special Creation or Evolution: No Middle Ground” by David H.Lane – Chapter 9
  • “Theological Problems with Theistic Evolution” by David H. Lane – Chapter 10
  • “Ebla and Biblical Historical Inerrancy” by Eugene H. Merrill – Chapter 13

The Roy Zuck Vital Issues Series draws upon the wisdom and research of dozens of esteemed evangelical scholars and writers to address the many issues and challenges of contemporary living. The articles in this collection were thoughtfully selected by general editor Roy B. Zuck from the hallowed pages of the Bibliotheca Sacra and published to commemorate both the sesquicentennial of the journal’s founding in New York (1843–1993), and its diamond anniversary at Dallas Theological Seminary (1934–1994). The insightful words of the archetypal writers featured in these volumes address questions faced by everyone who sincerely seeks to be more Christ like and to please God.

The articles found in this collection have been selected by Roy Zuck and topically arranged into these twelve volumes. The chapters have been slightly modified for formatting, and are available in their complete and original form as part of the Bibliotheca Sacra which is included in the Theological Journal Library: Volumes 1-10

David Lane SPCS – In Defence of Special Creation – “Man made in the Image of God”

October 9, 2014 by SPCS Leave a Comment

SPCS Constitution affirms “The Human person [MAN] is made in the Image of God” (Gen. 1:27).

According to French existentialist Jean Paul Sartre, the basic philosophic problem that faces us is the fact that ‘something’ – rather than nothing – exists. The questions immediately arise: “Has that ‘something’ always been there?” and “Where did all that ‘now is’ come from?” These are basic mysteries to modern man.

The Christian believes that the answers to these questions have been truthfully communicated to mankind by God, primarily through the Bible, but also through the ‘book of nature’. God is author of both and they complement each other.

Scripture informs us that the truths concerning the existence and character of God have always been self-evident to mankind through the book of nature, even to the ungodly and unrighteous – those “who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them; because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that they are without any excuse.”1

The active suppression of the truth of God’s existence and his role as Creator and Sustainer of all things is implicit to the atheistic and agnostic mindset, and to all philosophies such as secular humanism and materialism that derive from these religious positions. Mankind’s increasing knowledge of the wonders of the natural world should drive the unbeliever to acknowledge the self-evident fact of God as Creator, but unbelievers choose not to believe, in spite of the overwhelming evidence. As Scripture states: “The fool has said in his heart ‘There is no God'”.2 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”,3 exchanging the truth about God for a lie.
