What does science tell us about the plausibility of a god? Can we trust the alleged eyewitness testimony of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus? These questions are worth investigating in order to find an answer solidified in fact and evidence. Mark Lanier, one of America's top trial lawyers, uses his experienced legal eye to examine the plausibility of the Christian faith. Bringing science, current knowledge, and common sense together in a courtroom approach, this trial elucidates a rich understanding of God and a strong foundation for Christian faith. Following the format of a traditional legal trial, Lanier takes us from opening statement to closing summation by way of testimony from well-known witnesses--the scientist, the theologian, the linguist, the humanist, the philosopher, the psychologist and the ancient biblical eye-witness. These sources and many others investigate the sticky subjects of the Christian worldview that are commonly scrutinized by skeptics or overlooked by marginal believers: </p><ul> <li>Who is God in light of astronomical and subatomic science? </li> <li>How could divine inspiration of Scripture or Christ's bodily resurrection be possible?</li> <li>How should we see the nature of reality, free will and choice, ethics, morality and the idea of heaven and afterlife? </li> </ul><p>Lanier presents a persuasive case for the Christian faith and leaves it up to us to choose what is worthy of belief and what is not. <em>Christianity on Trial</em> provides a thought-provoking starting point in the search for truth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Christianity on Trial</em> represents an important addition to the field of apologetics, one that I hope others will imitate. Perhaps in the face of growing academic opposition to the truths of the Bible, Christians can carry their message out of the classroom and into the courtroom.</p>--Louis Markos, The Federalist, April 10, 2015<br><br><p>It does a respectable job presenting a few fundamental arguments on topics such as the nature of God, prayer, the Bible, morality, truth, free will and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. . . . This book will be of interest to Christians looking for a few basic starting points to explaining and understanding their faith.</p>--Brian Sullivan, Library Journal, June 15, 2014<br><br><p>One reviewer termed this book a 'modern-day <em>Evidence that Demands a Verdict</em>.' It was also, in some respects, reminiscent of Strobel's <em>The Case for Christ</em>. The case for having this book on your shelves is quite simply compelling.</p>--Martin Saiter, Evangelicals Now, November 2014<br><br><p>These questions are worth investigating in order to find an answer solidified in fact and evidence. Mark Lanier, one of America's top trial lawyers, uses his experienced legal eye to examine the plausibility of the Christian faith. Bringing science, current knowledge and common sense together in a courtroom approach, this 'trial' elucidates a rich understanding of God and a strong foundation for Christian faith.</p>--Light Magazine Canada, June/July 2014<br><br><p>W. Mark Lanier's <em>Christianity on Trial</em> is a good book to give to the lawyer who has everything except the belief that alone makes those things significant.</p>--Marvin Olasky, World Magazine, October 18, 2014<br>
