An Introduction to Reformed Apologetics

In this accessible introduction, a leading Reformed theologian presents apologetic arguments for the faith by tackling common objections that require a Christian response. "A breath of fresh air in the world of Reformed apologetics" In this accessible introduction, leading Reformed theologian J. V. Fesko presents apologetic arguments for the faith by tackling common objections that require a Christian response. "It is not often that a book in apologetics can claim to stand squarely in the historic Reformed tradition while offering new insights into how to do apologetics in the contemporary world, but this one can. Fesko's book demonstrates a deep understanding of the plight of hypermodernity and boldly suggests that historic Christian orthodoxy offers answers to the despair of a post-Christian society. This is the best single book on apologetics that I know." -- Craig A. Carter, Tyndale University; author of Contemplating God with the Great Tradition "A breath of fresh air in the world of Reformed apologetics. After almost a century of captivity to a novel method of apologetics that produced far more interest in talking about itself than in talking to lost and dying sinners, Reformed Christians are gradually becoming aware that the old biblical paths of traditional Reformed apologetics are far superior." -- Keith Mathison, Reformation Bible College "Apologists in the Reformed tradition do not always agree about the grounds and ways for using evidence, but we all know that we cannot escape questions about these matters. While attempting to mediate some of the disagreements about method, Fesko walks us through some astounding examples of how the reality of God directly confronts every human being and holds us accountable." -- Harrison Perkins, pastor of Oakland Hills Community Church (OPC) "A wise layman's guide to understanding and defending the biblical Christian faith. Positing twelve theses grounded in the faithful Word of God (and not Enlightenment pride or psychology's gnosticism), this book offers faithful guidance for witnessing to our neighbors and friends. It will provide wisdom for all Christians." -- Rosaria Butterfield, author of Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age Apologetics is the calling of every Christian. How can we be ready to express our hope in Christ? God impresses truth upon human minds through Scripture, nature, and our senses. In An Introduction to Reformed Apologetics, J. V. Fesko gives readers the basic tools they need to defend the Christian faith. He draws from the example of Paul in Acts and great apologists of the past to present 12 theses that guide Christian apologetics. Many apologetics books get bogged down in explaining and defending the right method for doing apologetics. But this accessible book also does apologetics--Fesko presents apologetic arguments for the faith by tackling common objections that require a Christian response.
