Christianity and Secularism - Paperback

by Elgin L. Hushbeck (Author)

In the Third Edition of Christianity and Secularism (Consider Christianity Series, Volume 2), author Elgin L. Hushbeck, Jr. delivers a compelling and systematic defense of the Christian faith. This volume is designed to help inquiring and analytical minds navigate the growing secularization of modern culture.

Hushbeck, an author, engineer, educator, and lecturer, writes from a basis of extensive reading and personal experience. He provides an insightful response to the pressing questions of our time: Is the material world all there is? Did Jesus rise from the dead? Is Christianity relevant in an age dominated by science and technology?

Through clear and comprehensible logic and meticulous research, this book tackles intellectual barriers that keep people from committing to Christ. Hushbeck peels away the layers of modern criticism by:

• Critiquing secularism's inherent rejection of the supernatural and providing evidence for its existence.
• Examining philosophical arguments for God's existence, including the cosmological and teleological arguments. The chapters dealing with science and religion are considered "some of the finest... ever seen on this topic".
• Detailing the historical reliability of Jesus' life and the convicting evidence for the Resurrection.
• Affirming that Christianity, grounded in the essential doctrines of the Trinity, the deity and resurrection of Jesus Christ, salvation by grace through faith, and the inspiration of the Bible, provides the necessary foundation for morality and order in society.

Christianity and Secularism offers a thought-provoking defense, showing that the Christian faith is not an outdated or harmful religion but is "rational, reasoned, and relevant". It serves as an "excellent tool for tearing down honest intellectual barriers" for the educated skeptic and open-minded seeker alike.
