Product Description

Product Description
Challenges to Christianity come from a variety of people and belief systems, and Christians are continually searching for the appropriate responses to critics of their faith. Yet until now there has been no definitive one-volume encyclopedia designed to equip believers for Christian defense against the full range of opposing arguments. The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics is such a work. This comprehensive reference volume covers every key issue, person, and concept related to Christian apologetics. Written entirely by leading apologist Norman Geisler, it stands as the culmination of the author's life-long career and ministry. The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics offers valuable information and advice to a wide audience: pastors and Christian leaders, students on college campuses, those involved in counter-cult ministries--all Christians who encounter skeptics. The author provides extensive coverage of: * individuals, such as Karl Marx and C. S. Lewis * general apologetics topics, such as the types of apologetics and the role of the Holy Spirit in apologetics * specific challenges, such as the relationship between science and Christianity and the reliability of the Bible * philosophical systems, such as nihilism and existentialism * philosophical concepts, such as the principle of sufficient reason and the principle of causality * biblical issues, such as the resurrection and the date of the exodus * contemporary concerns, such as the Jesus Seminar and postmodernism * perennial apologetic arguments, such as the problem of evil and the existence of God The encyclopedia also features two indexes (subject and Scripture) that allow readers to easily locate the specific information they need. This resource joins several other volumes in the Baker Reference Library in offering the finest of evangelical scholarship to both scholars and lay people. Each of the contributions is easy-to-understand and easy-to-use (thanks to their one-volume format). These volumes serve as an ideal home library for laity, a handy resource for pastors and church leaders, and a reliable supplemental text for courses in Christian colleges and seminaries.

About the Author
Norman L. Geisler, cofounder and longtime dean of Southern Evangelical Seminary, is a leading Christian apologist with books to his credit. Among them are Christian Apologetics, Apologetics in the New Age, Answering Islam, When Skeptics Ask, When Critics Ask, and When Cultists Ask.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, Very helpful, Very logical, 11 April 1999
By A Customer
This is a great book. Even though it is an encyclopedia it is wonderful to just browse. The author is one of the most respected Christian apologists. The articles are very helpful, logical, and well presented. One minor editing flaw - names don't always include the date of birth and death. Also, it would help to have a stronger topical index. I couldn't find the Divine Command Theory of Ethics in the index even though it is discussed under "Essentialism." But these are minor defects in one of the most useful works on Apologetics ever produced. For a consideration of non-foundationalist approaches to Apologetics, I highly recommed "Reason For the Hope Within" also available from Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must-Have" for Every Christian's Library!, 24 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Does God exist? Is the Bible, rather than the Koran or the Book of Mormon, the Word of God? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Is Jesus God in the flesh? These are just a few of the questions addressed in Baker's Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics. This book is undoubtedly one of the most important Christian reference books to be published in many, many years. As another reviewer said, this is Dr. Geisler's magnum opus. He has left no stone unturned in his presentation of the philosophical, theological, and historical evidence that proves the historic Christian Faith as Truth. As a Christian, I am very interested in presenting the truth of the Christian Faith to those who are searching for truth. Dr. Geisler has written an excellent resource that puts the answers right at my fingertips! If you buy only one book for your library this year, this, without question, must be the one! No Christian should be without this book. J. M. Spencer
