UNSHAKABLE FOUNDATIONS
by Norman Geisler and Peter Bocchino
Bethany House, 413 pages, $16.95

As the postmodern age continues its deadly assault against the biblical worldview, books such as Unshakable Foundations are crucial for the defense of the faith. Norman Geisler and Peter Bocchino have teamed up to provide Christians with a volume packed with clear and definitive responses to the attacks against the very foundation of truth.

The book covers a lot of territory in its 413 pages. From logic to worldviews to science to law and justice, the reader is furnished with sound and rational evidence for the Christian faith. Perhaps, the most important section of the work is the chapters which examine the nature and claims of Jesus Christ the very One who said He was Truth incarnate. While one can be ignorant of or confused by logic, science, and law, an understanding of the person and work of Christ is not only fundamental to truth, but essential.

The volume further examines God and suffering, ethics and morals, and heaven and hell. An appendix also tackles the questions of abortion, euthanasia, biomedical issues, and cloning.

The book is saturated with practical illustrations and analogies which help bring what some regard as heavy, difficult, or academic arguments down to a "layman's understanding." Scripture and general indexes make for easy search and retrieval of topics and subjects.

Truly, the Christian faith can withstand and answer the assaults of postmodernism, higher criticism, and the cults. The writings of Norman Geisler (and his many coauthors) have, for years, proved that Christians need not cower without answers, but can (and should) be ready to make a defense as the Apostle Peter commands. Unshakable Foundations is yet another valuable resource from Geisler to equip believers.
