Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the Evolution Industry, The | Suzan Mazur | Walter J. ReMine | |

Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies | David Bentley Hart | Lita Sanders | Does a good job of exonerating the early church of some of the ‘atrocities’ of which it has traditionally been accused |
A Troublesome Inheritance—Genes, Race and Human History | Nicholas Wade | Robert Carter | If this is his best case, I conclude there is not much to support the idea that the genetic differences among people groups are significant in terms of outcomes. |

Battle of Beginnings, The | Del Ratzsch | Carl Wieland | Theistic-evolution-sympathizing |

Bible, Rocks and Time, The | Davis A Young & Ralph F. Stearley | Michael Oard | Authors use eisegesis (reading into the text) and not exegesis. |
Bible tells me so, The | Peter Enns | Lita Sanders | Theistic evolutionism leads to abandoning biblical truth |

Creation - Evolution Debate, The | Edward J. Larson | Lita Sanders | The Creation-Evolution Debate is a good overview of the topics covered, which is much fairer to creationists than most evolutionist books. |
