Klappentext

In this revised six-session small group Bible study, you will follow bestselling author Lee Strobel as he discovers that science, far from being the enemy of faith, now provides a solid foundation for a belief in God.

Zusammenfassung

"My road to atheism was paved by science...ironically, so was my later journey to God."

Journalist and award-winning author of The Case for Christ Lee Strobel examines the idea that science isn't the enemy of faith, but that it provides a solid foundation for belief in God. New scientific discoveries point to the incredible complexity of our universe, a complexity best explained by the existence of a Creator.

This six-session video study invites participants to encounter the evidence of a Creator. Join Strobel in reexamining the theories that once led him away from God. Pastors, small group leaders, and individuals seeking resources that answer tough questions about the existence of God and the claims of rationality will find compelling answers in The Case for a Creator study, investigating probing questions like:

Where do science and faith overlap or agree?
As a form of knowledge, what are the weaknesses of science and rationality?
How much can I depend on science while still have a thriving faith?
Is faith in God ever based on rationality? Sessions and video run times include:
