With his co-author, Jerry Walls, Dr. Baggett authored Good God: The Theistic Foundations of Morality. The book won Christianity Today’s 2012 apologetics book of the year of the award. In 2016 he published a sequel with Walls that critiques naturalistic ethics, God and Cosmos: Moral Truth and Human Meaning. A third book in the series, The Moral Argument: A History (2019), chronicles the history of moral arguments for God’s existence. They are under contract with OUP for the fourth book of their tetralogy—on the topic of moral realism, Dr. Baggett has also co-edited a collection of essays exploring the philosophy of C. S. Lewis, edited the third debate between Gary Habermas and Antony Flew on the resurrection of Jesus, and in 2018 co-wrote (with his wife Marybeth) The Morals of the Story: Good News about a Good God. Dr. Baggett currently is a professor of philosophy and Director of the Center for Moral Apologetics at Houston Christian University. For more information, go to MoralApologetics.com
