It continues with a concise presentation of the twelve basic beliefs that separate Christianity from all other religions. The authors then examine both the historical and physical evidence for the Christian faith, addressing common questions about Christ's resurrection, creation, fulfilled prophecy, the reliability of the Bible, and the changed lives of believers. --back cover  aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 333-335).0 aBook 1.
