About

"Hey, whatever works for you." 

If you've recently tried to tell your friends about Jesus, this is surely a familiar phrase. Besides being familiar, such challenges from today's unbelievers are also frustrating. In fact, they can sometimes leave you speechless. So how do you respond?

Expert Christian apologist Paul Copan calls these objections "anti-truth claims." And he knows they're relevant--he's faced them over and over in his apologetics ministry on university campuses and in coffee shops across the country. In "How Do You Know You're Not Wrong?"  he presents a collection of objections regarding reality, worldviews, and Christianity and thoroughly addresses each from a biblical standpoint. If you've ever been left lost for words when discussing matters of faith, this insightful book will give you the tools you need to confidently, lovingly, and effectively respond to colleagues, acquaintances, and friends.

Endorsements

"Paul Copan has an amazing gift. He is able to take complex philosophical issues and make them accessible to ordinary folks without compromising accuracy or integrity. Professor Copan takes on some of the strongest challenges to Christian faith and responds to them with clarity, generosity, and laser-like logic."--Francis J. Beckwith, associate director, J. M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies; associate professor of Church-State Studies, Baylor University; author, Relativism

"Nonbelievers frequently challenge Christians with questions like, 'How do you know that what you believe is true?,' 'Doesn't science disprove faith?,' 'How could God make the strange commands that we find in the Old Testament?,' 'How can God punish me for sins committed by Adam?,' and 'Didn't early Christian leaders arbitrarily exclude from the Bible texts about Jesus that they didn't like?' On these and other important issues, Paul Copan gives clear and illuminating answers. Despite the depth and power of his arguments, this lively and helpful book will be understandable to intelligent laypersons. I enthusiastically recommend it."--Stephen T. Davis, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College

Reviews

"Copan addresses tough questions about faith and Christianity without sidestepping the reasoning of skeptics or issues of objectivity, truth, and reality. Appropriate for inquisitive students, skeptics, seminarians, and clergy, this is recommended for academic and large public libraries."--George Westerlund, Library Journal

"With solid reasons why you are not wrong to believe and what makes Christianity logical, this book will give you the confidence to deal with a world in which Christians are resident aliens."--Amanda Killgore, Huntress Reviews
