CHRISTIAN

APOLOGETICS

A N A NTHOLOGY OF

P RIMARY S OURCES

Edited by KHALDOUN A. SWEIS and CHAD V. MEISTER

Christian apologetics an anthology of primary sources - image 2

I dedicate this book to my lovely wife, Luciana, my beautiful daughter, AnaKaterina Cosette, and my amazing son, Daniel Zacharias. K.S.

I dedicate this book to my parents, who continue to inspire me to think critically, carefully, and clearly and to respect and learn from those with whom I disagree. C.M.

We would first like to express our appreciation and admiration for all the great Christian theologians and philosophers who have steadfastly defended the faith throughout the centuries. We stand on the shoulders of giants. There are many more who could be included in this book, and we are grateful for their important work in advancing the kingdom of God. We would also like to thank the following apologists for their insightful comments on this project: Paul Copan, William Lane Craig, Norman Geisler, Gary Habermas, J. P. Moreland, and Richard Swinburne. Their kind assistance and valuable input have made this book a much better volume than it would have been otherwise.

Special thanks are due to Verlyn Verbrugge for his guidance and careful eye to detail and to the entire Zondervan team for first-rate work on all dimensions of this project. Also, special thanks go to Carolyn Campbell and Stefanie Segovia for their excellent editing assistance with the book and especially with the indexes. Last, but certainly not least, we are grateful to Rhonda Hogan for her valorous efforts in obtaining permissions. Finally, we are thankful to God for the privilege of advancing the apologetics discussion through the construction of this book.
