What can one know about God from a study of the world around us, and how can this study prepare us for a special revelation from God?

This debate took place oi October 2008, sponsored by the Literary and Historical Society of University College Dublin. The proposition being debated was "that this house finds it irrational to believe in God". Dr. Montgomery and colleagues argued in support of the opposition. The audience of approximately 400 voted to defeat the proposition.

This recording bridges an intellectual chasm often regarded as impassable - that between modern jurisprudence (philosophy of law) and contemporary theology. Dr. Montgomery's thesis is that remarkably similar developmental patterns exist in these two areas of the history of ideas and that lessons learned in one are of the greatest potential value to the other.

A classic debate between a Christian historian and theologian and a humanist on the historical evidence for Jesus. Dr. Montgomery is well known internationally for his lectures and writings on the historicity of Jesus and the reliability of the New Testament documents. He has set forth his case in books such as History and Christianity. Dr. G. A. Wells is also well known for his view that we have no reliable eyewitnesses to the events related in the New Testament.

The Inns of Court School of Law in London, England, was the scene of a lively debate on the truthfulness of the claims of two of the world's most prominent religions on October 17, 2003. The debaters were Shabir Ally, a graduate of Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, with a BA in religious studies, and president and founder of the Islamic Information and Da'Wah Center in Toronto, Canada; and John Warwick Montgomery.

This series is designed to help the lay Christian confidently proclaim and defend the faith. Too many Christians know "what" they believe, but not necessarily "why" they believe it. The information in this series will help the listener to "...always be ready to make a defense to every one who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you." (I Peter 3:15)

An analysis and critique of documentary hypotheses regarding the origins of the Old Testament documents, and a comparison of this approach in theological studies to Ancient and Near Eastern and Greek studies.

How does the Christian faith relate to other faiths? In what sense is Christianity unique? How might a Christian approach the study of comparative religions? These and other questions are addressed in Dr. Montgomery's lecture at the University of Illinois - Urbana in the spring of 1966, and is followed by a "spirited dialogue" between Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Tiebout, Professor of Comparative Religion at the University of Illinois - Urbana.

In 1970, Dr. Montgomery was the visiting Reveille Scholar at the University of California, San Diego. This audio set is comprised of the series of lectures in which he surveyed the theological scene in the 20th century.

An introduction to principles used in interpreting documents in the field of law and their application in the field of theology. An address to the Evangelical Theological Society, November 1994.

An introduction to the law of evidence - the canons of evidence developed in the courts as a means to establish religious truth claims. Also examines myth and folktale as the sources of universal archetypes that point toward Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the myths and legends of the world.

A careful examination of the epistemological/methodological issues dividing these two schools of thought and the possibility of a rapprochement.

This is a treatment of the concepts of law, gospel and the classic three uses of the law, together with their application to the crucial question of the appropriateness of legislating a Christian agenda in a pluralistic society.

Dr. Montgomery presents a careful exposition of the fourth Gospel. These popular lectures were delivered as a series to an enthusiastic audience in the late Walter R. Martin's Southern California Bible Class. Now these dynamic talks can be heard in their entirety - for the building up of the saints and as a challenge to the unbeliever.

An introduction to the world of the occult and an evaluation of its claims and teachings.

In May, 1986, at the Court of Appeals in Athens, Dr. Montgomery successfully defended three evangelical missionaries who had been given three-and-a half year prison terms for "proselytizing". The President of the United States and many congressional leaders had written to the Greek government in support of the defendants.

Teaching Them All Things compares and contrasts the current situation in the United States and the United Kingdom, and suggests ways in which the gospel can be presented without violating the "separation of church and state" principle.
