Summary

Chris Sinkinson is a pastor and tutor at Moorlands Bible College. His new book 'Confident Christianity' aims to equip the believer with an overview of apologetics and how it can be used to make a rational defense of the Christian faith. James Croft is an atheist Brit studying at Harvard University and director of 'Temple of the Future'. He has read and debated with apologists - he says that all the apologetic arguments he has heard are incapable of convincing him. They debate what constitutes faith and evidence and whether it's irrational to believe in miracles such as the resurrection. We have 5 copies of Confident Christianity to give away - get in touch telling me "what makes you believe" and you may win one! email unbelievable@premier.org.uk To buy Confident Christianity http://amzn.to/ACKJH5 For Chris Sinkinson http://www.moorlands.ac.uk/home/about-us/staff-profiles.php For James Croft http://www.templeofthefuture.net/about For more Christian/non-Christian debate visit http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable or get the MP3 podcast http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx or Via Itunes If you enjoyed this progamme you may also enjoy: Unbelievable? 29 October 2011 - Gary Habermas & Geoff Campos Belief in Miracles.Unbelievable? 11 June 2011 - Unbelievable?
