Recommended Resources:
There are so many excellent books on apologetics. I particularly recommend the following:
- The Reason for Faith by Tim Keller. This is an excellent summary of both responses to specific questions about faith, and a logical framework to explain Christianity.
- The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? by F.F. Bruce. First published in 1943, this short book is now in its sixth edition. It remains a seminal work and is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject.
- The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. This encyclopedic text is intended as a reference book for questions about apologetics.
- The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. This classic text is a good primer on apologetics.
- Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Lewis articulates an argument for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity as only he can.
