I forgot to include the promised ‘further reading’ section in my previous post, so I thought I would do that here.

For Problem of Evil concerns, a good place to start may be Philip Yancey ‘Where is God When it Hurts.’ Additionally, C.S. Lewis ‘The Problem of Pain’ is a good resource. Searching Google Scholar for persons such as Alvin Plantinga, William Rowe (atheist), William Hasker, and Paul Draper (agnostic) may be good places to start in the academic literature of POE work.

For fidelity of Scripture concerns, I would check out Nicholas Perrin ‘Lost in Transmission.’ Additionally, the ‘Case For…’ books by Lee Strobel may be of benefit as well, along with C.S. Lewis ‘Miracles.’

For historical Jesus concerns, I would look at three books by Gary Habermas: ‘The Historical Jesus: Ancient Evidence for the Life of Christ,’ ‘The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus,’ and ‘The Risen Jesus and Future Hope.’

For doctrine of God concerns, I would check out A.W. Tozer ‘Knowledge of the Holy.’

These books are a good place to start any study of the various topics discussed in my reponse below.
