I am happy to announce that the sequel to Tough Topics: Biblical Answers to 25 Challenging Questions (Crossway, 2013) is now available for pre-order at Amazon. Tough Topics 2: Biblical Answers to 25 Challenging Questions from Christian Focus Publishers (2015, 367 pp.) is set to be released in a couple of weeks. I have an advanced copy in hand and I’m extremely pleased with how it turned out.

In the Introduction to Tough Topics 2 I say this:

“I’m not a big fan of sequels, whether they be movies or books. Until now the one exception I made was for The Godfather II. But I’m compelled to make room for one more. Most of you reading this book were likely drawn to it because of my earlier volume, Tough Topics: Biblical Answers to 25 Challenging Questions (Crossway, 2013). That volume was originally composed of 50 questions until it was pointed out that it would have been unbearably long. So I proceeded to divide the questions and their biblical answers into two volumes. Hence, this sequel.”

Here are the 25 questions I seek to answer.

(1) If God is Triune, do Christians believe in Three Gods?

(2) Can God Create a Rock so Big that He can’t pick it up?

(3) Is God Guilty of Genocide?

(4) How did Jesus perform his Miracles?

(5) Did Jesus Descend into Hell?

(6) Can a Christian Commit the Sin unto Death?

(7) Is Suicide the Unpardonable Sin?

(8) Are all World Religions Pathways to the Same God?

(9) Do Atheists actually believe in God after all?

(10) Can all Christians Pray for God to Save the Lost?

(11) Is Water Baptism necessary for Salvation?

(12) Does Hell Last Forever?

(13) Will the Horror of Hell Spoil the Happiness of Heaven?

(14) Did Joshua really make the Sun Stand Still?

(15) Does Paul Restrict the Office of Elder and Senior Pastor to Men?

(16) What did Jesus teach about Divorce and Remarriage?

(17) What did Paul teach about Divorce and Remarriage?

(18) Can a Divorced Man serve as an Elder in the Local Church?

(19) Is it ever OK for a Christian to Swear an Oath (or to Lie)?

(20) Does the Bible Endorse Capital Punishment?

(21) Does Prayer Really Change Things?

(22) Is the Man in Romans 7 a Christian or non-Christian?

(23) What does it mean to Forgive someone as God has Forgiven me?

(24) What did Jesus mean when he commanded us to turn the other cheek and to love our enemies?

(25) What is the Meaning of 666?

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. As noted, you can pre-order at www.amazon.com and get a pretty discount.

Sam,

What about "The Empire Strikes Back?" Now there is a great- and worthy- sequel.... ;-)

In all seriousness though, I am very much looking forward this new volume. I really enjoyed the first and have often recommended to others. In particular I look forward to engaging with your answer to question 4.

I hope your new year is off to a great start! We hope to get down to Bridgeway again soon!
