Demolishing Contradictions: Volume 1

This is perfect for all to defend your faith, especially in today’s society.

This book was helpful in giving an introduction to some of the supposed contradictions. I only wish the answers had dug deeper.

I am so thankful for a resource that helps people to understand the Word. So many people are confused about what the Bible really teaches. There is a lack of sound doctrine in the world today. This book is so helpful. I think that all believers should read this book. The perfect addition to any apologetics study.

I am extremely happy with this purchase! I highly recommend this book (as well as volume 1) for all Christians, and am having my teens read it as part of their bible curriculum.

I bought this book to add to my apologetics lessons for my children, and I am glad I did. Not only will this help them out, this book is a great addition to my study as I prepare and preach sermons from Genesis to Revelation. As a Bible believer, sometimes we do come into contact with skeptics who will bring up alleged contradictions. This volume covers 40 of those supposed contradictions, arranged in order as they appear in the Scriptures. I have a lot of good commentaries in my library but this small book (144 pages) covers these topics in a way that none of my other books do.

Whether young Christian or seasoned saint - there is something in this book to equip each of us for the battle we all are in. As I read the portion about the mustard seed, I remembered a conversation I had years ago with a humanist on that very subject that I was not prepared for, and rejoiced to have this book now.

I recommend the book, but am only giving it 4 instead of 5 stars because I think it would have been more impactful if the authors would have stuck with one translation of the Bible for consistency sake, and also the chapter on three days and three nights left me scratching my head.

Personally I've never been up against anyone saying that there are biblical contradictions. I've heard plenty of other scientific based and faith based arguments, but not biblical contradictions. I've heard many times that these contradictions exist, but since I believe the Bible is infallible, I never really thought about it further. This book is a great resource to learn about commonly alleged contradictions. Gives you a deeper look into the passages in order to refute these allegations and explain why the verses are not in contradiction. This is a great resource to give you ammo in your apologetic quiver, or just to further study a few of these passages and solidify the truth that the Bible is indeed infallible as is God. A great resource I will pass onto my hubby and when appropriate, my son.

I ordered this book because the church I have attended for 10 years is beginning to abandon the word of God. As we searched for another church I realized I needed to be able to strongly defend the Bible and the inerrancy of God's word against those who challenge it. This book is amazing! The authors use scriptural exegesis to point the reader towards the answers needed for contradictory people. I encourage any believer to read this and especially think this book is a needed resource for older teens about to venture forth to college.

Excellent resource to back up and hold your beliefs strong! I am having all my teens read it before they are adults.

"The Bible is full of contradictions!" says the skeptic. You reply in protest, "Show me one!" To your shock, the skeptic flips to a series of passages in the Old and New Testaments, which, to your horror, appear to contradict one another! What do you do now? Do you give up, try to explain it away, or do you give an answer as we are commanded to do in 1 Peter 3:15?

General editor Ken Ham (president/CEO of Answers in Genesis and Creation Museum) leads a team of apologists (defenders of the faith) to refute 40 of the most common alleged contradictions in Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions - Volume 1. Each chapter covers a separate contradiction, from the two creation accounts in Genesis, to the slaughter of the Canaanites in Joshua, to Jesus' statement of the Father being greater in the Gospels, to the "firstborn Creator" in Colossians. Each of these chapters helps build confidence in the the truth and inspiration of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), and shows that the Bible "is an anvil which has worn out many hammers."

Some of the things I personally enjoyed about this book:

- With each chapter being only a page to two pages long, it is an easy book to pick up and read on the go or when you are in a discussion or debate with someone on Bible contradictions.
- Because the authors stand on the authority of Scripture, all of the research they do comes directly from the pages of Scripture, rather than dismissing each of these "contradictions" as errors.
- As stated throughout, this book helps Christians to better understand the issue at hand and how to refute Bible contradiction arguments from skeptics, by simply defining "contradiction" and reading the passage within context.
- My faith in the Bible was strengthened, as passages which once bothered me due to their "contradictory nature" now fit into their place.

Would I recommend Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions - Volume 1? I wouldn't only recommend it, but I would say that it is a must have for any Christian's library. Now I have to get my hands on the sequel!

Thank you New Leaf Publishing Group for sending me a review copy!
