The Office of Statutory Inquiry (OSI) and the powerful, secular Athenaeum foundation have systematically dismantled Christian intellectual life. They have already dragged Dr. Christian Cross-a professor of apologetics in eastern Tennessee-through three grueling national trials.Now comes the fourth and final front: Christian doctrine itself.Over four intense weeks in a federal courtroom, Cross must face his ultimate intellectual and spiritual challenge: a high-stakes cross-examination by the brilliant, Oxford-trained philosopher Bram Frey. Driven by the Athenaeum's deep pockets, Frey intends to prove that the foundation of the Western Church-the Trinity, the Incarnation, and substitutionary atonement-is nothing more than a beautifully phrased contradiction.Supported by his razor-sharp counsel, Aurelia Vance, and sustained by the legacy of his late wife, Cross stands as the final line of defense for a 1,700-year-old confession.Written to stand alone as a gripping legal and theological thriller, The Doctrine Trial bridges rigorous analytical philosophy with the deeply human realities of grief, family, and unshakeable grace. Can the historic creeds withstand the cold light of public reason? Or will the keystone of Christian theology finally be ripped from the modern world? Christian orthodoxy is a crime in 2041. Apologist Christian Cross faces a brutal courtroom cross-examination by a brilliant secular philosopher. Can the Trinity and historic faith survive the ultimate trial? A high-stakes theological thriller. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
