The Apostle Paul was kind of a jerk. He was arrogant and stubborn. He called his opponents derogatory, racist names. He legitimized slavery and silenced women. He was a moralistic, homophobic killjoy who imposed his narrow religious views on others. Or was he? Randolph Richards and Brandon O'Brien explore the complicated persona and teachings of the Apostle Paul. Unpacking his personal history and cultural context, they show how Paul both offended Roman perspectives and scandalized Jewish sensibilities.

Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.

Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness.

Well-rounded, thorough, and not bulletproof
As much as this audiobook presented material that was often presented in a dry, systematic manner, the narrator and the material hit the mark of completing a sweeping response to all the complaints about the morality of God, His people, and the Law of Moses based on events and teachings in the Old Testament. I was impressed that, as different topics and questions were addressed, I might think of a question or issue with the logic or information presented, and then, before the discussion of the topic was complete, those questions and issues were often addressed! :) I say that Mr. Copan's material isn't bulletproof as an apologetic because folks' perspectives on these topics and questions may not be satisfied with answers like 'the situation was a significant moral upgrade of existing social values' or things like that. For people who see themselves as having a superior intellect and moral foundation to which God must answer, some of Dr. Copan's arguments and conclusions will come short. But within faith in the risen Lord Jesus Christ and Him being the fulfillment of the Law and the revelation of God's character in light of that Law, it is a very powerful and condensed refutation of neo-atheist criticisms.

A well-presented theological response
Far too little attention is given in the popular media today to those who have well-reasoned biblical responses to the claims of Neo atheists that have gone viral and have caused many to embrace poorly examined unsubstantiated claims under the banner of modern reason. This book is a worthy response, based in sound theological argumentation, drawn not only from scripture but also from history and even the positions of moderate atheist who view many popularized neo-atheistic claims as extreme, poorly argued and embarrassing.
Passages of scripture that are often difficult to interpret and used as targets by radical popular atheists are explained within their context and appropriately applied. The erroneous claims of atheist are addressed in a compassionate, but pointed and well researched fashion. This book is informative, enjoyable, and a wonderful contribution to biblical apologetics.

Fantastic
This (together with Frank Turik's "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist") is now right up there at the top of my favorite apologetics books. I love the clarity the author brings to the subject; and I also love the humility he has to acknowledge when he doesn't have every single piece of the puzzle. But make no mistake, if you were wondering what the picture looked like before, there are certainly enough pieces provided here to give you a very good idea: God is good, always, and it is demonstrated throughout history. Get the book!

Dubious at best, fictional at worst
The reader spoke clearly and at a good pace; his voice was not unpleasant. The book material is well organized and I had an easy time following his logic. Many of his claims and explanations sounded reasonable to an untrained, non-academic such as myself. HOWEVER, a great many claims and explanations sounded questionable to me. His description of ancient near east life and history did not sound adequately backed by archeology or other impartial academic sources. Some of his interpretation or explanation of what the bible says seemed to contradict, in my mind, what the bible actually says. And some of his logic seemed outright broken/incoherent based on my limited but partially-studied understanding of logic. I would mention some of these issues that I noted ... but I do not have to. All of my concerns, and many more, were addressed and confirmed by Thom Stark in his paper "Is God a Moral Compromiser" which is available for free on the Internet. Stark, and the authors he mentions in his paper including Copan, are currently involved in back-and-forth discussion. While I could not say who is right and who is wrong on one account or another, my response is to assume that all authors involved are probably incorrect about a number of things and that neither explanation should be taken wholesale, ESPECIALLY not Copan's.

Rock-solid answers to otherwise confusing Old Testament stories.
Copan gives amazingly clear answers to every question that New Testament Christians and Atheists have posed for years about the Old Testament. Easy enough for new Christians and deep enough for theologians, philosophers and scholars.

Please read this book! It is very long but it's worth it. If you have ever struggled with the Old Testament before this book will answer your questions. Single-handedly this book refutes any Old Testament disputes of what really happened in ancient Israel.

A Weak Defense, Not Taking Ground
This whole book is meant to deflect serious questions of consistency that believers and unbelievers fairly ask.
The author doesn't reason from a standpoint that God's law is right by definition, and we must therefore submit to it. Rather, he assumes that uneducated and unregenerate people have a leg to stand on when they accuse God of not loving up to modern standards.
Maybe I missed it, but I was hoping to see Paul's take on Matthew 5. Paul seems to contradict Christ directly when he says that the law was never meant to be permanent.
I must say it was very hard to take the rest of this book seriously after hearing Paul say that God's commandments are not ideal. I understand that we have the spirit of the law now, and the spirit of the law is much more demanding. So I fail to understand how anyone can argue for looser restrictions. Again, keeping Matthew 5 in view.
