I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but it is really good! it is aimed at Christians who want to know what to say to all the difficult questions people raise. It would also be very valuable for someone who just wanted to know why Christians believe what they do. Easy to read. Extremely well laid out. All in all a great read.

William Lane Craig is a leading Christian apologist and has distilled his arguments to be more accessible. Anyone with a sixth form education should be able to understand this book and it would make an excellent present for those going to university. He covers these topics:
1. What is apologetics?
2. What difference does it make if God exists?
3. Why does anything at all exist?
4. Why did the universe begin?
5. Why is the universe fine tuned for life?
6. Can we be good without God?
7. What about suffering?
8. Who was Jesus?
9. Did Jesus rise from the dead?
10. Is Jesus the only way to God?
For a more in depth treatment see Craig's book Reasonable Faith (Christian Truth and Apologetics)
NB. All that is required in apologetics, is to show that Christianity is reasonable, nothing more.

Having had personal dealings with some of the new breed of angry, aggressive atheist, I have found that they use highly specious, flaky and wholly questionable reasoning, which leads them to take the extreme position they do. As well as being an excellent resource for Christian apologetics "On Guard" presents a remarkably clear response to anyone who has been influenced by "new atheist" thinking, but who has a genuinely open mind. There is no blind faith involved in Craig's reasoning and, in my view, his logic is completely sound and his approach is solidly grounded in reality. Consequently this book is highly recommended...!!!

Only convincing to the already convinced
I read this after reading "Reasonable Faith", Craig's other handbook of apologetics. This book is very similar. Read more

This book discusses points in the Christian theology that generally are forgotten, yet are basic. That christian doctrine is reasonable. Read more

Intolerable
I got this book as a present from a christian friend. Somehow I did manage to finish it but Craig's ludicrous reasoning in defence of bronze-age myths is rather tiresome. Read more
