Titles from John Blanchard
Has
science got rid of God?
In this new book, John Blanchard
tackles an age-old question that is still troubling many thoughtful people today
— and gives a clear and convincing answer, drawing on material from some of the
greatest scientists in history. Easy to read and packed with excellent
illustrations.
Why
believe the Bible?
The Bible is the most revered book
in the world; it is also the most reviled.
Millions of people turn to it every day to find inspiration
and direction for their lives, yet for 2,000 years no other book has been so
hated, vilified and attacked. Many of its translators have been persecuted,
tortured and murdered, and countless copies of their work have been banned or
destroyed.
Yet for many people the Bible is neither loved nor loathed;
it is nothing more than an ancient religious document that raises a host of
questions. How can we know that the present text is anything like the original?
Is it anything more than folklore? How can such an old book be relevant in the
twenty-first century? Has science not taken its place as an explanation of the
world and our place in it?
Here are the answers.
The theory of evolution has been called
‘the most powerful and the most comprehensive idea that has ever arisen on
earth’. It has been so passionately argued and so heavily promoted in the mass media
that millions of people with no scientific expertise assume it must be true.
Evolutionism says that life on earth began by chance in some kind of chemical
‘soup’, and claims that Homo sapiens is the latest product of a vast
sequence of species that led from the first living cell through invertebrates, fish,
amphibians, reptiles, birds, furry quadrupeds and ape-like mammals.
What is the evidence for this fascinating scenario? Can we prove that
life began this way? What are the odds against such a thing happening? Has archaeology
found obvious links between the different species? Can we really show that all living
species owe their distinct existence to random, unplanned, accidental genetic changes?
Or is there another explanation ................................ ?
Where
was God on September 11?
John Blanchard was asked the following question
just a few days after September 11: ‘Where was God when the terrorists
attacked America?’ The question is inescapable and the argument behind it goes
back thousands of years. In this new evangelistic booklet, the author deals with
this and the difficult question of pain and suffering before delivering a
serious ‘wake-up call’ to the unbeliever.
This booklet is designed to be given to those who consider
themselves to be atheists, agnostics or unbelievers and to challenge their
views. It is based in part on a chapter of Is God past his sell-by date?
Is
God past his sell-by date?
From
time to time, philosophers, scientists, authors and other movers and shakers
have hit the headlines with claims that God is non-existent, irrelevant or ‘past
his sell-by date’.
This book has been written specifically for those who take a
similar line, who think that God is non-existent or irrelevant, or who are in
some way skeptical about the whole issue.
Although on the same theme as Does God believe in
Atheists? this is an entirely new book designed to be given to those who
consider themselves to be atheists and to challenge their view. Each chapter
ends with a ‘witness’ who from their own personal experience support the
claim made by the author in the chapter.
Meet
the Real Jesus
Previously published as Will
the real Jesus please stand up?
This book is simple without being simplistic, and doctrinally rich without
sounding dull and dry. Best of all, it persuasively presents the truth about
Jesus Christ in such a coherent way that nobody who reads it can possibly miss
its message.
Traces the development of atheistic and agnostic thinking from the ‘Golden Age’ of Greek philosophy to the present day.
· Pinpoints the influence of thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Neitzsche, Martin Heidegger, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and Bertrand Russell, and shows how their teaching has helped to shape modern atheistic and agnostic ideas.
· Traces the rise of Darwinian evolutionism and uncovers the weaknesses in claims made by its contemporary exponents such as Richard Dawkins and Peter Atkins.
· Exposes the fallacies of determinism, existentialism and secular humanism.
· Highlights the fundamental flaws in nine world religions and fourteen major cults.
· Shows why true science and true religion are not enemies, but friends.
· Examines the critical issue of how a God of love can allow suffering and evil.
