Christianity Stands True:
A Commonsense Look at the Evidencechristianity

A skeptic taunted a Christian, “Believers are touchy and offended when asked why they believe in Christianity because the awkward truth is that they have no reason, they just feel like believing.”

But we do have good evidence for believing that Christianity is true! Faith is not ‘believing what you know isn’t so,” as a child misunderstood. Faith is trust based on sufficient evidence!

This work presents evidences which support the truth of Christianity:

  • The New Testament Stands True as History
  • Jesus Stands True as the Son of God
  • The Bible Stands True as the Word of God
  • God Stands True in the Universe
  • Christianity Stands True in Life

Anyone honestly seeking the truth will learn the basis of the Christian faith. Any Christian reading this book will have his or her confidence strengthened that Christianity is true.

Christianity Stands True is in its third printing and has been translated into Russian, Polish, Czech, Spanish and Korean.

Reviews:

“If we begin [our apologetic] with truth, we shall, if we think rightly, discover that this leads us to the conclusion that God is and the Bible is His revelation of Himself to us. This is where Lynn Gardner begins in his fine book, Christianity Stands True: A Common Sense Look at the Evidence. It represents a scripturally approved and, indeed, a divinely commanded way to carry on our witness for Christ.” “Step by step, in a easily intelligible style that is both interesting and convincing, Lynn Gardner shows that many common ideas about religion and about Christianity simply do not fit the facts of the universe in which we live. If he seeks to be consistent, the non-Christian must either give up these non-Christian views or accept the truth of Christianity. . . . [Gardner]presents the claims of the gospel and calls the unbeliever to rethink his unexamined philosophy of life.” “In presenting this material Lynn Gardner does a remarkable job of explaining even complex problems with clarity, humor and apt illustrations that add up to a fascinating and convincing case for the truth of Christianity. Pastors, Sunday School teachers and lay persons who are concerned to meet the intellectual challenge of unbelievers will find this book invaluable.”

Kenneth S. Kantzer, Trinity Christian University (from the Foreword)

“Lynn Gardner has put together an excellent summary of the basic evidence for the truth of Christianity. It is a clear and concise statement of the essential arguments for the Christian Faith with very helpful charts.”

Norman L. Geisler, Southern Evangelical Seminary, author and apologist

“This book offers a common-sense, non-technical presentation of evidences supporting the truth of Christianity. It gives reasons for one to believe in the historical reliability of the New Testament, the deity of Jesus, and the inspiration of the Bible. I not only agree with this book, I admire it. I do want everyone to read it. It is based on extensive and sound scholarship, and is expressed in clear, sincere, and readable paragraphs. The ten chapters are spiced here and there with brief, helpful, and often humorous illustrations. Helpful charts are included.”

Seth Wilson, former Academic Dean, Ozark Christian College

“Christianity Stands True relates the timeless truths of God’s authoritative Word in a waythat is instructive, interesting, impressive, insightful and inspiritng. We are reminded that Christians have every reason to worship the God who rules and redeems.”

Robert Lowery, Professor of New Testament, Lincoln Christian Seminary

“Dr. Lynn Gardner shows that Christian faith is rational. It might be investigated and experienced. We can build our lives on it. To believe and be ready to give a reason for our faith is a challenge for every Christian. Especially for Polish Christians living in the society which was for decades under the domination of godless atheism. This book will help to meet such a challenge.”

Michael Weremiejewicz, Polish church leader

“. . . particularly helpful in that it is very up-to-date, suggests some strong sources in the bibliography, and offers a concise presentation of the key issues.”

Robert A. Pyne, Assistant Professor of Systemic Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary

“Christianity Stands True by Lynn Gardner is an excellent introduction to Christian apologetics. The book is quick moving . . . it holds the reader’s attention. Dr. Gardner’s writing style . . . weaves humor in with some heavy content. He also has researched his topic well as is evidenced by the notes.”
