"FAITH FOUNDED ON FACT can help the reader to choose an apologetic method capable of withstanding the onslaughts of modern unbelief and of shifting the ground from defense to attack. The essence of this method is never to be satisfied with the mere assertion of Christian truth (since anyone can make claims), or with the critical destruction of a non-Christian viewpoint (since the fallaciousness of another world-view never establishes the truth of your own), but rather to show the secularist that Christianity alone can offer adequate factual, evidential support for its beliefs. . . .
"The primary documents concerning Jesus' prophetically foretold and miraculous career will not permit an acceptance of Him as a mere man; he who by the testimony of eyewitnesses has seen Him has concurrently and demonstrably also seen the Father. . . . Either reject those documents outright (requiring, consistently, a rejection of primary documentation in general) or accept a Jesus who is both man and "supraempirical" God and Savior.
"Christian faith is founded on fact. The message of this book is simply that the time is now more than ripe for the church to present that faith evidentially and courageously."
