Summary: Excellent
Comment: This book is fantastic! Moreland tackles certain issues in a thorough way, which is not attained by any other book I know of. He very clearly lays down all the arguments and all the counterarguments and his conclusions seem inescapable. Here are the chapters:
1 The cosmological argument
2 The design argument
3 God and the argument from mind
4 God and the meaning of life
5 The historicity of the New Testament
6 The resurrection of Jesus
7 Science and Christianity
8 Four final issues
The excellent treatments of these issues are however not integrated, linked together. One must already have an idea of their relevance (I can recommend here the book of N. L. Geisler, "Christian Apologetics", Baker Book House). I also would like to recommend Moreland's other books ("The Creation Hypothesis", "Jesus under fire", ...).

Summary: A definitive text that has endured the past decade
Comment: J.P. Moreland has given the Christian community a definitive work in the area of apologetics. As is the case with most other apologetic works (or works of this nature), they tend to have a short shelf life. Thus, those who are interested in owning a copy have to spend too many hours tracking it down. This work has stood the test of time. Moreland is extremely decisive and clear in what he communicates in these pages. Moreover, he covers topics that are vital to the Christian faith. For example, Moreland covers the traditional arguments for the existence of God (i.e. cosmological, design argument, etc.). Moreland also offers a great exposition of why Jesus actually did rise physically from the grave, why the New Testament is historically accurate, and he includes a chapter concerning Science and Christianity (i.e. how science has effected Christianity over the years, including the age old debate over evolution and creationism). Furthermore, Moreland delineates the Kalam Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God. An argument which has gain popularity thanks to men like Moreland and William Lane Craig. Overall, this book is an invaluable tool for the Christian lay person and researcher alike.

Summary: another reviewers total ignorance
Comment: " stopping of all scientific and intellectual inquiry for 1700 "

So tell me, which Christian thinker was it that stifled all inquiry? Would it be Augustine, the monasteries that hand copied vital classics of the ancient world for hundreds of years, thomas aquinas, Newton(the greatest mathmatician ever), Galileo, Descartes, Berkeley, Riemann(who einstein general relatvitistic math from), Faraday(he gave us electrical power), Gauss(the second greatest mathmatician ever), Maxwell( he gave us radio waves and from his one book game all of modern physics)? Which one of these Christians stifled thought???? We owe modern science in great part to the rational ordered world view of christianity. Better get some new facts friend
