Book Reviews of Christian Apologetics
Book Review: Excellent Resource for Evangelism
Summary: 5 Stars
I will start of by saying that I first despised this book but then grew to love it.
This text was required reading in my Apologetics course in Bible College. As I began to read this text, I tried to skim the material briefly and disdained my reading assignments. However, as I began my work as an Open Air Preacher on college campuses and street corners, this book because priceless. This text, if studied slowly and carefully, will give a person many tools in refuting the pagan world views so common in Western society.
This is not a book based on evidential apologetics such as Josh McDowell's "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" but rather a philosophical approach to apologetics. I believe that the philosophical approach to apologetics is much more effective and Biblical in manner. Evidentialism assumes that man's problem is a lack of information. While some scoffers have genuine questions that can be addressed through evidential apologetics, the majority of skeptics are running from God by attempting to hide behind smoke screens such as atheism or agnosticism. This book deals very effectively with both weak and strong forms or atheism and agnosticism. Most "professing atheists" are nothing more than strong agnostics in reality. This book helps a person have the upper hand in informing the skeptic of what he/she actually believes before thoroughly dismantling their position.
Geisler's "Ten Step Proof" for the existence of God is excellent and practical to use in evangelism.
One note however- I would not reccomend this book apart from first reading Norman Geisler's "An Introduction to Philosophy: A Christian Perspective" in order to better grasp what he is saying in this text.
Summary of Christian Apologetics
At a time when the Christian church faces an ever-increasing challenge from a secular and pluralistic culture, leading apologist Norman Geisler provides a substantive resource for answering the challenge. Christian Apologetics addresses issues such as Deism, Theism, Christ's authority, and inspiration of the Bible. Geisler's systematic approach presents both methods and reasons for defending the claims of Christianity. (58)Evangelism Books
