An introduction to Albert Schweitzer's (1875 -1965) life and thought, especially as it relates to the quest for the historical Jesus.

American evangelicals, especially dispensationalists, have a tendency to whitewash whatever the modern Israeli government does, owing to a supposed identification of contemporary Israel with the Israel of the Old Testament and biblical prophecy. So concerned about this was the late President Sadat of Egypt that he invited Dr. Montgomery and five other evangelical leaders to meet with him to provide a more balanced picture.

The history of apologetics, from Paul on Mars Hill to CS Lewis at Oxford. Learn how Christians have defended the faith as each age has leveled attacks upon it and how relevant the master apologists of the past are to our contemporary witness for Christ and the Bible.

Dr. Montgomery, in easy to understand terms, shows that Christianity is sensible and does have answers to the critical questions of life.

Dr. Montgomery presents a careful exposition of the fourth Gospel. These popular lectures were delivered as a series to an enthusiastic audience in the late Walter R.

This is an examination of the nature of the Bible and the claim for its reliability as a revelation from God.

On February 5, 1969, Drs. Montgomery and Steen were invited to the campus of DePaul University to debate the question "is there a supreme being - someone above me - who knows me, who watches out for me, who can help me, who is my guarantee of eternal life; or is man on his own in this universe?"

An evaluation of the current state of Evangelicalism.

In 1987, Dr. Montgomery delivered the annual Pascal Lectures at the University of Waterloo. In clear, precise, and easy-to-understand language, he details why the inter-relationship between human rights and Christian theology is so critical. He explains why the justification for human rights can be founded only on a revelation that transcends human knowledge. He then provides reasons why Christians, on the basis of that revelation, should be keenly interested and active in human rights issues.

Too often, contrasting styles of evangelical apologetics are discussed solely within the Christian context. In this recording the relative merits of presuppositionalism and evidentialism are evaluated by seeing their application to the argument for the Muslim view of Jesus.

This is a treatment of the concepts of law, gospel and the classic three uses of the law, together with their application to the crucial question of the appropriateness of legislating a Christian agenda in a pluralistic society.
