What is apologetics? How are we to understand the apologetic mandate of the church? What biblical principles should guide our apologetic methodology? And upon what foundation does our apologetic stand? This insightful work begins to answer these questions while also laying the groundwork for developing and providing a distinctly biblical worldview, because the faith of Scripture is an objective faith that relates and applies to every creational aspect. The Christian, therefore, must have a faith that reflects the holistic nature of Scriptural faith, and to that end, this work guides the reader towards the development of a holistic and distinctly biblical apologetic.

The Spanish Brothers is an accurate historical record of the rise, progress and fall of the Protestant Church in Spain. In particular, it mentions the history of the two great Autos-de-f (Acts of faith: march and execution of the "heretics") in Seville. The only fictitious narrative enclosed is what corresponds to the personal history of the two brothers and their families. This masterful literary rendition portrays with excellence the biblical truth that God rewards His faithful servants up to a hundred times more, even in this life, for everything they do and suffer por amor a su Nombre - for the love of His Name.

Speaking to a mixed audience of Christians, religious pluralists, skeptics and inquirers at the national universities of Costa Rica, Steven R. Martins, founding director of the C ntaro Institute, delivered a series of lectures relating to the truthfulness of the Christian worldview. In this collection of lectures, entitled God, Man, the Bible & Life, Martins answers the questions: Can we trust the Bible to be God's infallible and inspired word? How does Jesus' exclusivist claims measure up against other religious worldviews in our pluralist age? Can man live without the God of Christianity? And how do we reconcile a sovereign and good God with the evil in our world? Also included is a paper that was submitted on the Muslim and Christian mind, an analytical comparison between the epistemological foundations of Islam and Christianity. Altogether Martins' unifying thesis is that the truthfulness of the Christian worldview is based on the impossibility of the contrary.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a middle-aged African American, was wrongfully killed by a Minneapolis police officer. His death sparked protests and riots across the United States of America, and raised questions as to how we should regard and respond to systemic racism. In this short book, Steven R. Martins provides a biblically informed response to racism, the matter of human dignity and the cultural Marxist worldview underlying the protests and riots. A timely, sensitive, and sobering resource for the church today.
