In this fast-paced, and thorough exploration, enjoy learning:
  • Solid, scriptural defenses for the use of apologetics
  • Five different approaches to apologetics (and how to employ them)
  • And much more
Understanding Apologeticspresents in counterpoint form five popular approaches to the defense of the Christian faith that have developed throughout history―from the early days of Christianity through to our practices today. Apologetics philosophies explored here include:
  • Cultural Apologetics
  • Presuppositional Apologetics
  • Evidential Apologetics
  • Classical Apologetics
  • Ecclesial Apologetics
About the Contributors:These defenses are much more than academic. Each contributor is a scholar who also practices apologetics daily. The result is a thorough yet fast-paced and practical guide to defending your faith.
  • Melissa Cain Travis (PhD, Faulkner University) argues that classical apologetics is still vital and relevant today.
  • Sean McDowell (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) contends that evidential apologetics is better suited than other methods when it comes to answering people's doubts about the Christian faith.
  • James N. Anderson (PhD, University of Edinburgh) focuses on epistemology and makes the case for presuppositional apologetics.
  • D. A. Horton (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) suggests the other perspectives are incomplete until they include cultural apologetics.
  • Timothy Paul Jones (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) retrieves the apologetics methods of the early church and recontextualizes these ancient arguments to meet the challenges of a secular age.
