Publisher Description

There is a widespread belief that reason and faith are incompatible and opposed to each other. Faith is viewed as subjective, emotional, a crutch for those who find the real world too hard. Though many of the world’s finest minds hold this view, the Bible teaches that it is the fool who says there is no God. // Dr. R. C. Sproul clearly and simply argues that at its core Christianity is rational. He focuses on defending the basic truth claims for two of the most crucial issues of apologetics: God’s existence and the Bible’s authority. // In this primer of apologetic thought, Dr. Sproul affirms four logical principles that are necessary for all real discussion and teaches you how to defend your faith in a faithless world. Using the writings of church fathers and philosophers throughout the ages, he uncovers the common ideologies that work against faith. // The defense of the faith is not a luxury or an intellectual vanity. It is a task appointed by God that you should be able to give a reason for the hope that is in you as you bear witness before the world.

"This book was my introduction to Apologetics. As a Christian, I can't believe I'd not heard of this term before. Sproul does a wonderful job of academically outlining the logical reasoning behind the existence of God. More Christians should understand these arguments and argue your faith on equal terms with any academic. Faith does not have to be blind, and can be succinctly argued as R.C. Sproul so eloquently does. A great read... and easily counters the monotonous argument of Dawkins God Delusion."

    " Sproul's apologetics are from a very classical stance in this book and possibly a bit too wooden for practicality. A very helpful book to set up categories for thinking about apologetics, but not very practical for having a thoughtful discussion with a non-believing friend. "

    " This book is VERY good with presenting the wording that is actually wandering around deep in your own thoughts, but just didn't know how to verbalize it, or find reference for it in the Bible. Well presented and thorough, though sometimes it does get a little too anal (splitting hairs?). "

    " While I think the concept of Christian Apologetics is very interesting - and potentially quite relevant and helpful - this book is written in such high-level language that it is difficult to gain a full understanding. "
