Product Description:
Apologetics is often considered the hobby of intellectuals, a philosophical 'side dish' to Christian truth. But we all need to defend our faith and apply the truth to the concerns of our day.
Often the Bible is left out of this task. We’re told that what we need are strong reasoning skills, not revelation. But 'it is the Bible that we need, and must open, if we are going to think about and prepare to do apologetics,' says Scott Oliphint. 'To refuse to use the only weapon that is able to pierce to the heart, is to fight a losing battle.' In clear, biblical terms he explains the issues involved in defending the faith and guides us in that effort. Readers will be encouraged to reason from Scripture, confident that the battle belongs to the Lord.

While there is much to commend here -including a gratifying emphasis on the priority of persuasion in apologetics, and a wonderful appendix addressing the recurrent question of the Holy Spirit and apologetics-yet the most impressive feature of this volume is its portrayal of apologetics as scripturally mandated and ...

Rating:  - This Should Be in Everyone's Library
This book goes a long way in rooting apologetics or the defense of the Christian faith firmly in Scripture and the Triune God of Scripture.
The author has taken passages of scripture and demonstrated their apologetical import. In so doing, he shows us the necessity of every Christian to be a student of Scripture. Apologetics, we are shown, is not a matter of "method", but of being able to rightly divide the word of God and properly placing our faith in Him as we defend.
