Study the narrative backbone of the Christian story and how all the plotlines of that story are resolved in the end.

Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It's more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching. Christianity is a picture of reality. It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly.

This six-session, video-based study guide (DVD/streaming video sold separately)—based on the theological observations of his book, The Story of Reality—Gregory Koukl guides you and your group through the narrative arc of reality. Throughout this experience, you'll learn:

  • The vital answer to the question: What is Christianity?
  • The five basic elements forming the plotline of the entire Christian story.
  • How the Christian story explains why there's evil in the world.
  • The precise reason why Jesus is the only way of salvation.
  • Why biblical faith is not a leap of wishful thinking.
  • Reasons why the story's record of the life and resurrection of Jesus is reliable.
  • How the biblical view of reality is the best explanation for the way things are.

This video-based study is designed to be experienced in a group setting or any small gathering and includes outlines of the video teachings, reflections, self-assessment exercises, discussion questions, and other activities to help you understand the concepts and put them into practice.

Participants in this course will come away with a more grounded understanding of biblical reality and a greater appreciation for the Christian tradition.

Gregory Koukl is the founder and president of Stand to Reason (www.str.org). Greg started out thinking he was too smart to become a Christian and ended up giving his life for the defense of Christianity. A central theme of Greg's speaking and writing is that the Christian view of reality can compete in the marketplace of ideas when it's properly understood and properly articulated.

Koukl's teaching has been featured on Focus on the Family radio, he's been interviewed for the BBC, and did a one-hour national television debate with Deepak Chopra on Lee Strobel's "Faith Under Fire." Greg has been quoted in U.S. News & World Report, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the L.A. Times. An award-winning writer, Greg is author of "The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between," "Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions," "Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air" (with Francis J. Beckwith), and "Precious Unborn Human Persons." Koukl has spoken on 85 university and college campuses both in the U.S. and abroad.

Koukl received his Masters in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics at Talbot School of Theology, graduating with high honors, and his Masters with honors in Christian Apologetics from Simon Greenleaf University. He is an adjunct professor in the graduate program of Christian apologetics at Biola University.

Koukl hosts Stand to Reason's talk show advocating clear-thinking Christianity and defending the Christian worldview. Find more of Greg Koukl's resources at www.str.org.

5.0 out of 5 stars philosophy book about worldviews in 8th grade language
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
Verified Purchase
I give this book out when I speak as evangelist to try to get a lay movement started. Many Christians are afraid to share their faith because deep down inside they are afraid those "in the world" might think they believe in something like the easter bunny or santa clause, but after grasping this material a believer should be able to stand firm in their faith and defend it in our culture... worth the read! (give some out to others!)
