Customer Reviews

Any serious Christian in the US should buy this book

Keener & Usry have done it again. This book is indeed a reference book that one can use again and again. The bibliography alone is over 67 pages of small print. This book will serve black Christians as a tool to help them defend their faith in the face of attacks from non-Christian blacks. White Christians need to look at it just to see what many brothers and sisters must face. Overall the book is a remarkable feat showing the beauty and depth of our Christian faith. Christianity can meet any intellectual assault that we might face. Praise God for this excellent book. Well done guys!!
