APOLOGETICS AT THE CROSS HB

Amid the pluralism and secularism of Western culture, Christian apologetics has experienced a renewal of interest. In Apologetics at the Cross, Joshua D. Chatraw and Mark D. Allen provide an introduction to the field, acquainting students and lay learners with the rich history, biblical foundation, and ongoing relevance of apologetics.

Unique in its approach, Apologetics at the Cross presents the biblical and historical foundations for apologetics, explores various contemporary methods for approaching apologetics, and gives practical guidance in 'how to' chapters that feature many real-life illustrations. With their respectful approach, which pays special attention to the attitude and posture of the apologist, Chatraw and Allen equip Christians to engage skeptics with the heart as well as the mind.

Conversational in tone and balanced in approach, Apologetics at the Cross provides a readable introduction to the field of apologetics. Readers will be informed and equipped for engaging a wide range of contemporary challenges with the best in Christian thought.

Stephen McQuoid's review (16/03/2022): 'Apologetics at the Cross by Joshua Chatraw and Mark Allen. Both authors are on the faculty of Liberty University. While this is an apologetic book, it is not one which merely takes the reader through a series of reasons to believe. Instead, the authors take a step back and look at some of the biblical and historical foundations for apologetics and also the kind of posture we should take when contending for the truth of the gospel. They begin looking at the biblical justification for apologetics and then investigate some key historical figures and how they did apologetics. This is followed by a methodological study of the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches such as classical, presuppositional, evidential and evidential/narrative. This is a really excellent book and if you needed to teach a course on apologetics, this would be an extremely helpful source book to use.'
