An Introduction to Christian Apologetics: Necessity and Purpose

By Edward L. Dalcour

Biblical apologetics is the act of defending and affirming the gospel of Jesus Christ, that is, the Christian faith. An Introduction to Christian Apologetics: Necessity and Purpose equips the Christian to understand and engage in basic Christian apologetics. Christians are called to boldly proclaim the gospel of the Son, "contend for the faith" (1 Pet. 3:15; Jude 1:3), and oppose those who attack and distort the fundamentals of Christian doctrine. Apologetics and evangelism start with having a set-foundation and a clear accurate understanding of the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. Without a set-foundation, biblical error is inevitable . Today, far too many Christians, although having sufficient knowledge of Christ and the gospel, due to a lethargic attitude toward biblical study, they hold to a wide range of incomplete and/or erroneous doctrines. An Introduction to Christian Apologetics addresses such topics as, The purpose and necessity of apologistics. The gospel of the Son. The doctrine of the Trinity. The deity, preexistence, and incarnation of the person of the Son. Justification through faith alone - apart from works. The reliability of the NT. Further, this book addresses both ancient Christological heresies (Gnosticism, Judaizers, Arianism), and modern prevalent heresies (Islam, Roman Catholicism, Oneness Pentecostalism [Modalism], Jehovah's Witnesses, and LDS [Mormonism]), while providing a proper biblical apologetic against them.
