Summary

In the light of the threats posed to Christianity by militant Islam, intolerant secularism, and widespread misinformation (The Da Vinci Code, the Jesus Seminar, etc.), the necessity of informed and articulate defense of the Christian faith today can hardly be contested. Reasons for Our Hope offers a sophisticated yet accessible guide to "destroying speculations and every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthian 10:5). The book's 31 chapters are divided into four sections: Apologetics Methodologies and Systems, Apologetics in Scripture and in History, Apologetic Problems, How to Use Apologetics in Engaging the World.
