Doug Powell

B&H Publishing Group, 2006 - Religion - 375 pages

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, Renaissance man Doug Powell defends the Christian faith in a new key; taking timehonored approaches in apologetics and freshly presenting them for a new generation.

Chapters include:

1. What Is Apologetics?

2. The Cosmological Argument for God's Existence

3. The Teleological Argument for God's Existence

4. The Axiological Argument for God's Existence

5. Which God Exists?

6. Where Did the New Testament Come From?

7. Is the New Testament Reliable?

8. ExtraBiblical Evidence for Jesus

9. Is the Old Testament Reliable?

10. The Fulfillment of Prophecy

11. What About Miracles?

12. Was Jesus Raised from Death?

13. Did Jesus Claim to Be God? Is He the Only Way?

14. How can God allow Evil, Pain, and Suffering?

Don't let the pictures fool you. This book is full of excellent, to the point information. I know I will Re-read it several times. The arguments are quite comlpete and arm you with the beginning tools that we need to properly defend the Christian faith.

Best overall overview of Christian apologetics
