Bible Based Apologetics: A Guide to Defending the Faith by Book

A Practical, Scripture-First Guide to Defending the Christian FaithChristians are called to be ready to defend what they believe. But when someone challenges the Bible, questions the existence of God, or raises a difficult objection to Christianity, knowing what to say can feel intimidating.Bible Based Apologetics equips ordinary Christians to answer those challenges confidently-without setting aside the authority of Scripture in order to defend it.Rather than beginning on supposedly neutral ground, Joel M. Settecase presents a Scripture-first approach to apologetics that takes God's Word as the foundation for understanding both the Christian faith and the objections raised against it. Readers will learn a practical three-step method for identifying problems in non-Christian claims, showing how the biblical worldview provides the answer, and bringing the conversation back to the gospel.The book then puts that method to work against fifteen common challenges to Christianity, including questions about biblical reliability, contradictions in Scripture, evil and suffering, other religions, science, hypocrisy, sexuality, and the evidence for Christianity. The approach taken by this book is: - Biblical: Grounds the defense of Christianity in the authority and truth of Scripture, centered on the gospel and directing the conversation back to Jesus Christ.- Practical: Teaches a repeatable three-step method for responding to challenges, and then applies that method to fifteen real-word objections involving Scripture, evidence, and experience.- Accessible: Written for everyday Christians, not just pastors, philosophers, or professional debatersBible Based Apologetics will help you know why the Christian faith is true, defend it with greater confidence, and be ready to give an answer when the questions come.
