Bible Question:
I owned a book years ago called (something like) Christianity : A Ready Defense by Josh McDowell which I regretfully no longer own. I'm looking for a recommendation for a book that will help me defend the Bible against current strands of secular university-level liberal biblical studies. McDowell's book I recall had excellent sections on the historicity of Jesus, Source Criticism, the Documentary Hypothesis etc. Can anyone advise a really good accessible book that defends the Bible against modernist theories. Thank you |
Bible Answer: Dear Antios, Welcome to the forum! It is always great to have a theology student join us in our study. We look forward to your continuing participation. Apologetics is a broad subject. I am loathe to render up a single book that would give you a pat answer for everything you might commonly face from modern skeptics. Generally, it doesn't work that way. Each person you face is, after all, an individual. Consequently, you must know the Word and work out from there, in loving concern for their soul. On the other hand, starting out with a good, solid systematic theology book can be very useful. May favorte is Wayne Grudem's. Nevertheless, any of the books at the following site are excellent. I've read or been exposed to a number of them and/or I am familiar with the authors: http://www.monergismbooks.com/003apologetics.html There is also a great deal online that you find useful. Here is a good starting point: http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/topic/apologetics.html God bless you in your studies, as you prepare to render service to our Lord in ministry. In Him, Doc PS I have a sister that was Josh McDowell's secretary a number of years ago. His ministry has been a blessed and valuable one. |
