Kregel Apologetics Collection (7 vols.)
Overview
This collection of 7 apologetics titles published by Kregel provides a great deal of excellent information for defending and sharing your faith. Taken together, these titles touch on a multitude of issues and questions you might encounter when discussing Christianity with others: the reliability of Scripture, the problem of suffering, Bible and science, the existence of absolute truth, prevailing non-Christian worldviews, the nuts and bolts of friendly apologetic discourse, and dozens of tough bioethical issues.
Apologetics is not about "winning" and doesn't have to devolve into a shouting match. Sometimes, we get hot under the collar when feeling threatened by our own lack of knowledge. These apologetics resources are the perfect way to get equipped for a calm, rational discussion instead.
Dan Story received his B. A. in theology from San Diego Bible College and Seminary and his M. A. in Christian apologetics from Simon Greenleaf University. He is the author of Engaging the Closed Minded, Christianity on the Offense, Defending Your Faith and more than fifteen apologetics booklets.
Story summarizes his three books on apologetics as follows:
"My first book, Defending Your Faith, answers the 'tough' questions. It provides responses to the major questions and criticisms unbelievers raise against Christianity. My second book, Christianity on the Offense, examines the other side of the apologetics coin. Instead of 'defensive' apologetics, it presents 'offensive' apologetics. It provides instructions on how to examine and test religious truth-claims. It challenges modern non-Christian worldviews, both religious and secular. This book [Engaging the Closed Mind] is a study on how to apply apologetics effectively as a tool for evangelism. It provides instructions on how to use apologetics data and techniques as an aid to evangelism. It provides practical training on how to shift the 'burden of proof' from believers to unbelievers—where it belongs, since they are the ones entertaining untruths."
