Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To explore and communicate the reasonable and scientifically sound basis on which the historic christian faith stands.

Reasons to believe's (rtb) mission is to spread the christian gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research-including the very latest discoveries-consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the bible and faith in the personal, transcendent god revealed in both scripture and nature. Rtb does that by developing and producing books, booklets, dvds, cds, podcasts, blogs and a variety of electronic media. These are used for product sales, presentations, and the world wide web.
