Welcome to ISCA!

The Society and Resource for Christian Apologetics

 

"But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ."

— 1 Pet. 3:15-16

ISCA is the International Society of Christian Apologetics, founded with the following purpose:

“The purpose of the Society is to foster scholarly discussion of ideas among evangelical scholars relevant to the defense of the historic Christian Faith in accordance with the Doctrinal Statement of the Society.”

~ The Bylaws of the International Society of Christian Apologetics

ISCA seeks to engage the church at large with the study of Christian Apologetics to encourage greater defense of the faith and doctrinal devotion to the Historic Christian position, namely, but not limited to, the Trinity, Inerrancy of Scripture and Salvation by grace alone. We seek others who are like-minded in this endeavor to strengthen the Body of Christ and the church at large.

As many in the church hope for a brighter future for America, we must ask ourselves, how did we fall so far in the first place? How did right become wrong, and wrong become right so quickly? How did Judeo-Christian values and worldview get turned upside down in this country, and what is the worldview that is becoming the replacement?

Yoga is considered by many in the Christian church as a grey area. But yoga is not a grey area; instead, it lives in the grey. More specifically, it lives in various shades of grey of cloud and mist (2 Peter 2:17).

What’s yoga’s root definition—its authentic self? Did it originate from Hinduism, or is it more ancient? Is there historical evidence of yoga throughout biblical times across various cultures? Can yoga be just exercise? Does it shift and bend forms? Can it hide in plain sight? Can you manage its influence on you? Does it divide faith and family? Does it produce immorality? Can it shift a nation? Has its philosophy, worldview, and worship infiltrated the culture and the church? If so, to what end?

If you think you know the answers, it’s time to dig deeper and look closer. Even if you’ve never been concerned with yoga, however, you find yourself in utter shock regarding the behaviors and direction of America and the church, then this book series is also for you.

Unearthing Yoga’s Ancient Roots: Exposing Sorcery and its Transcultural Reach (Introducing the Yoga You Don’t Know: 84 Postures to Challenge you Beyond the Mat!) is the first book of the series Stand. Pray. Watch.

Join apologist Dr. Alana Arguello (www.sovereignandgood.org), as she comprehensively examines research from various fields of study that expose a hidden connection of its infiltration, influence, and indoctrination, compelling us to face the jarring reality of this thing called, YOGA. Coming mid-November 2024!

Foreword by Ron Rhodes

Afterword by Jason D. Crowder

“This book will help you recover what the church is in danger of losing.” Dr. Winfried Corduan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Religion at Taylor University

“We owe a debt to Dr. Arguello for her powerful defense of the ways historic Christianity is irreconcilable with Yoga and the vast trappings that surround the entire ethos of Yoga.” Dr. William C. Roach, Dean of the Norman L. Geisler Chair of Christian Apologetics, Veritas International University; Chair of Theology, Redeemer Seminary

Dr. Arguello’s research clarifies the way Yoga…seeks to embed one deeply in Eastern religions. The probing depths of her scholarship are a perceptive, helpful guide for understanding the original grounds and purpose of the practice of Yoga. Dr. William F. Cooper, Philosophy Professor Emeritus at Baylor University

“This three-volume work by Dr. Arguello is the most scholarly study on the foundation and dangers of Yoga. I pray it becomes the standard work in this field for years to come.” Dr. Phil Fernandes, Pastor and Apologist

“Dr. Alana Arguello has given us well-researched and valuable data regarding Yoga…” Dr. Joseph Holden, Pres. VIU

“Arguello’s work informs us of a challenge to biblical truth that is scarcely understood and commonly dismissed within the church.”  Dr. J.A. Pagán, Founding Instructor, The Institute for Intellectual Formation & Skeptical Inquiry
