Books (Recommended reading):
Theism:
Scaling the Secular City - J. P. Moreland
Philosophical and scientific arguments for God's existence, Biblical historicity and Jesus' resurrection. The academic tone of Scaling the Secular City requires a level of existing knowledge to best understand Moreland's arguments, but readers looking for rational defense of the Christian worldview will appreciate the thoroughness.
The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists - Ravi Zacharias
A response to the works of Sam Harris, this brief treatise addresses Harris' anti-Christian assertions with reasoned dedication. This book, which often lists point-by-point references to Harris' work, is more useful if read after Harris' books.
Letter from a Christian Citizen - Douglas Wilson
The Christian response to Sam Harris' letter presents a counterpoint to Harris' argument, as it responds to specific points on the grounds Harris calls for: pure reason.
Atheism:
God and the Problem of Evil - William Rowe
This collection of essays present the "problem of evil," a challenge to the existence of an omnipotent, loving higher power. Combining writings from classical and modern philosophers, Rowe develops the argument well and presents it in a comprehensive, thought-provoking read.
The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason - Sam Harris
A well-researched argument against contemporary religious moderation. Although he is divisive, Harris speaks with candor, passion and sense of purpose while citing data and information from religious history, particularly that of Islam.
Letter to a Christian Nation - Sam Harris
A widely successful book in response to numerous Christians who contacted him about his writing. This short, straightforward work outlines the core of Harris' moral argument against the dangers of religion, especially American Christianity.
