Description: Calls all believers to do apologetics—to apply biblical truth to contemporary concerns. An popular-level introduction to presuppositional apologetics and its biblical underpinnings.

"Many think that we should leave our Bibles at home when we engage in apologetics, that we should reason with unbelievers only on the basis of "common ground." Scott Oliphint, to the contrary, rightly emphasizes that the Christian can never set his Bible aside, for Scripture sets the standards for everything we do, including apologetics."
—John Frame Reformed Theological Seminary, Florida

Oliphint devotes chapters to (1) 1 Peter 3:15-17; (2) Jude 1:3; (3) 2 Cor. 10:3-5; (4) Rom. 1:16-18; (5) Rom. 1:19-32; and (6) Acts 17:15-30. Appendixes treat (1) apologetics and the Holy Spirit and (2) Scripture passages for apologetics (hundreds of references appear under four headings).

K. SCOTT OLIPHINT is associate professor of apologetics at Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia. He has written numerous articles on apologetics and is coauthor of If I Should Die Before I Wake: Help for Those Who Hope for Heaven.

Introduction to a Scripturally grounded presuppositional apologetics for defending the faith. No need for a degree in philosophy. He shows how "Joe Christian" can do apologetics simply by being a student of Scripture.
