                                         Ministry Profile

Ralph O. Muncaster is a frequent lecturer to colleges, churches, and organizations on topics of apologetics, world religion and Biblical authority. He is the founder of Strong Basis to Believe, a ministry started at Saddleback Valley Community Church in California in 1991, and has taught thousands of skeptics, church leaders and pastors. He holds a BS in engineering and an MBA from the University of Colorado. Ralph is also the creator of a 15-week training course, Belief Builders, which is used in churches throughout North America and abroad.

A former atheist and hardcore Bible skeptic, Ralph spent 15 years conducting research to dispute the Bible. To Ralph, it seemed that the Bible could not possibly be consistent with such sciences as anthropology, molecular biology and physics. Armed with an engineering education and a critical, questioning mind, to his surprise the more he searched, the more evidence he found - evidence that supports the Bible's claims. In 1986, Ralph became aware of the prophetic accuracy of the Bible. He recognized that such precision is "statistically impossible". Investigating the scientific and historical documentation and its consistency with the Bible, he was startled by his findings: manuscripts written thousands of years ago contain information that could not possibly have been known at that time . . . without divine intervention.

This season from Harvest House Publishers, Ralph builds on his Examine the Evidence series, a fascinating exploration of various foundations of the Christian faith. Each book provides extensive information about a single topic and presents clearly stated, charted, and detailed evidence to skeptics, seekers and Christians. This season the series topics include:
                     * Does the Bible Predict the Future?
                     * Can Archaeology Prove the Old Testament ?
                     * Can Archaeology Prove the New Testament ?
                     * Science - Was the Bible Ahead of Its Time?
                     * What Really Happened Christmas Morning?
                     * What Really Happens When You Die?

In addition, his highly popular Creation vs. Evolution book is now available as a state-of-the-art video tape.

A dynamic speaker and teacher, Ralph Muncaster has been featured on dozens of national television programs, such as The New Harvest Show, At Home Live!, His Place, Celebration and It's A New Day. He has appeared on numerous radio broadcasts including Beverly LaHaye Today, Midday Connection, Prime Time America, Master Control, and Today's Issues. Ralph recently taped a five-show segment for PAX TV which will air during September sweeps weeks. Special engagements include addressing a Muslim mosque in Orange County about the reliability of the Bible, and addressing NASA scientists at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Ralph is currently a professor at Vanguard University of Southern California where he teaches business, communications, and religion classes. He is in his 10th year of teaching apologetics at Saddleback Valley Community Church in southern California.

Ralph and his wife, Janice reside in California and have three sons.
