Apologetics: Studies in Biblical Apologetics for a Christian Worldview
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
What is apologetics? How are we to understand the apologetic mandate of the church? What biblical principles should guide our apologetic methodology? And upon what foundation does our apologetic stand? This insightful work begins to answer these questions while also laying the groundwork for developing and providing a distinctly biblical worldview, because the faith of Scripture is an objective faith that relates and applies to every creational aspect. The Christian, therefore, must have a faith that reflects the holistic nature of Scriptural faith, and to that end, this work guides the reader towards the development of a holistic and distinctly biblical apologetic.

Appendices
Only biblical Christianity provides the intellectual framework needed to make sense of the world. This is the message of Steven R. Martins’ book Apologetics: Studies in Biblical Apologetics for a Christian Worldview. It provides a comprehensive introduction to learning how to think like a Christian and why it is necessary to do so. As Martins explains, even the meaning of life can only be found in the God of the Bible. His book provides a rigorous defense of Christianity as well as an explanation of why Christians should be optimistic for the future. This is just what is needed to prepare God’s people to stand humbly yet confidently when facing the challenges of the twenty-first century.

It has been my personal privilege to serve alongside Steven R. Martins to equip the saints by example to preach Christ in the public square. This book, Apologetics, will further serve this purpose. Steven’s faithful exegesis in the opening chapter of our Lord’s apologetic mandate in 1 Peter 3 gives rise to a biblical methodology as individually accessible and actionable as the very Apostle who penned it. I highly recommend this timely resource to all saints needing to get equipped to faithfully proclaim to every creature a holy and hopeful defense of Christ’s gospel and lordship.

The book before you is an intellectual, philosophical, and above all, biblical feast for those hungry for the meat of the Word. It has helped me to understand that Christian apologetics addresses every aspect of life. I cannot help but agree with Martins when he writes that, wherever there is teaching of the Word of God there should be a regression of the darkness of fallen humanity. It is from this biblical worldview, from which we have God’s righteousness as the standard for justice, that leads me, as an attorney and advocate, to have hope.
