Faithful Apologist, The : Rethinking the Role of Persuasion in Apologetics
Outline : Christianity is a religion of persuasion. How can we defend the faith persuasively without reducing apologetics to a simplistic formula? As Christians, we're called to give an answer for the hope we have in Christ. But too often, this task can feel like we're doing PR work for God, limiting out apologetic efforts to a series of strategies and tactics. In The Faithful Apologist, Scott Oliphint shows that this doesn't have to be the case. He provides a cross-centered foundation for Christians to explain their faith in a welcoming and winsome manner that avoids any burden to "sell" Christianity to non-Christians. Drawing from the rich tradition of Reformed apologetics, Oliphint proposes a marriage between wisdom and persuasion in faith conversations. He shows that, when our faith is grounded in the triune God and his sovereignty, our attempts to defend it will grow more confident and convincing. Accessible and thoroughly rooted in Scripture, this book takes the anxiety our of apologetics by revealing that success is not measured in the number of minds we change but in our faithfulness to God, the Divine Persuader and the Faithful Apologist.
