A very good and concrete introduction to apologetics

This book is very suited as an introduction to apologetics, and for group study. Each chapter is preceeded by some conversations (called "vignettes") the author had with different persons on the subject of the chapter. At the end of the chapter, one finds some answers/reflexions about the vignettes of the chapter, as well as some questions to master the content of the chapter and for further reflexions, and also a short bibliography for further exploration. I find most of the chapters very good, except the presentation of the cosmological and teleological arguments. Ccontents 1 Faith, reason and doubt 2 Truth, knowledge and relativism 3 Knowledge: some important components 4 Knowledge: testing worldviews 5 Wordlviews in trouble 6 The existence of God 7 God and evil 8 Miracles: liability and asset 9 Back to the past 10 The New Testament and history 11 Who is Jesus 12 From Christ to Christianity 13 Truth and our culture Names Index Scripture Index Subject Index A much more detailed (and somewhat less formally presented) introduction to Apologetics can be found in "When skeptics ask" by Norman Geisler. For a more philosophical introduction, see "Reason and Faith" by Ronald Nash. For those who want more, I can recommend all the books of Geisler, James Moreland, William Craig, Douglas Geivett, Gary Habermas
