New Release: The Moral Argument

Why Universal Morals Still Matter in Apologetics

I’m excited to announce the release of a new short book from Lamad Press: The Moral Argument. This work is an expanded, standalone version of a chapter originally published in Contending for the Truth, but it quickly became clear that the argument needed to breathe on its own. Why? Because most Christians (and most search engines) aren’t looking for apologetics content buried in a book titled Contending for the Truth. They’re looking for answers to specific questions. And this book addresses one of the most common and neglected ones: Can morality point to God?

Historically, the moral argument has been treated like the runt of the apologetic litter. It’s often dismissed in academic circles, overshadowed by more “philosophically impressive” arguments like the cosmological or ontological. But here’s the thing: the average Christian and the average skeptic aren’t usually swayed by Kalam syllogisms. They’re moved by the question of right and wrong, justice and evil. These are not abstract debates. They’re personal. And that’s where the moral argument shines.

This book engages the argument’s history, lays out the common objections (including the idea that morals can arise naturally or vary by culture), and shows how those objections often collapse under scrutiny. But I don’t stop at philosophy. The argument finds surprising strength in Scripture. Romans 1 and 2 make it clear: God’s moral law is written on our hearts. That’s not just good theology—it’s the foundation of this entire line of reasoning.

You’ll also find a chapter of practical application: how to use the moral argument in evangelism, how to pair it with other apologetic tools, and how it can strengthen your own faith in a world increasingly confused about good and evil.

If you’ve ever struggled to articulate why morality matters in the case for God, or if you’ve been told that it doesn’t, this book is for you.
