Holman QuickSource Guide to Christian Apologetics
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In today’s pluralistic society, not every approach to sharing the gospel will work with all people. Being ready to give reasons for the hope we have in Christ means understanding the contextual framework of the people we are addressing.
In the Holman QuickSource Guide to Christian Apologetics, Doug Powell defends the Christian faith in a new key; taking time-honored approaches in apologetics and freshly presenting them for a new generation.
Top Highlights
“It is the goal of Christian apologetics to remove these hindrances that stand between a person and the cross of Christ.” (Page 5)
“The results of training in apologetics are boldness, security, and a lack of defensiveness. Apologetics enables the believer to engage the world without acquiescing to it and without compromise.” (Page 10)
“The view that each society decides what is right and wrong is called conventionalism” (Page 75)
“The Kalam argument tells us that the universe had a beginning and that the beginning was caused by an uncaused cause.” (Page 32)
“The councils of Carthage, in 393, and Hippo, in 397, fixed the list of New Testament books into its final form” (Page 120)

I developed a 20 hour curriculum from this book. it was a perfect text based on the idea that the book would become the perfect home reference for the typical church layperson. My students liked the depth of the material and the format of the book. It is a starting point and not an in-depth study on specific questions. A great overview of what apologetics is and how it can be used to support the truth of Christianity.
