The apostle Paul, writing to believers at Corinth, stated: “For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” 1 Corinthians 14: 8, KJV. The context of Paul’s query was a controversy with respect to speaking in tongues; however, the uncertainty of the trumpet being sounded by today’s Christian leaders and teachers in summoning the church to battle is with respect to broader issues, such as God’s existence and preeminence. The confusion arises out of theological ignorance, since would-be defenders of the true gospel are not being equipped to participate in the debate regarding whether Christianity has a sound basis metaphysically, mystically, or in the physical laws that govern the universe ( i.e., mechanically).

 

Attorney Ron Case accordingly felt a call, following his retirement from a career as a child welfare advocate in the courts of New York, to research and muster the arguments for God as Creator, for Jesus as the only means of access to God the Father, and for God as wholly sovereign while man is wholly free. The result was the present book, which will hopefully give valuable information and assurance both to Christians who are teaching and to would-be believers who are reaching. The intended audience is a hypothetical ‘gentle reader’ who might fit one or the other of the above descriptions.
