Summary

Renowned scholar William Lane Craig offers a listenable, rich training manual for defending the Christian faith.

This concise guide is filled with sidebars and memorizable steps to help Christians stand their ground and defend their faith with reason and precision. In his engaging style, Dr. Craig offers four arguments for God's existence, defends the historicity of Jesus' personal claims and resurrection, addresses the problem of suffering, and shows why religious relativism doesn't work. Along the way, he shares his story of following God's call in his own life.

This one-stop, how-to-defend-your-faith manual will equip Christians to advance faith conversations deliberately, applying straightforward, cool-headed arguments. They will discover not just what they believe, but why they believe - and how being on guard with the truth has the power to change lives forever.

Interesting (but at times unconvincing to a non-believer)

WLC provides his most robust defences when discussing cosmological arguments. However I worry that he asserts unjustified claims to affirm his own faith.

Most arguments presented are internally robust and do indeed raise the intellectual price tag for atheism.

This seems to be more of an attempt to debunk common arguments against Christianity rather than the most robust.

Overall, epistemically entertaining

Clear honest and straightforward explanations for those with an inquisitive bent.

Honest strong arguments for faith in God. Humble yet authoritative with clear examples and explanations for arguing one's faith in our modern times of questioning and doubt.

A great case for belief in Jesus

one of the best books on apologetics and how to share your faith with others, especially handling objections.

Spirited defence of Christian theism, but nothing new

WLC writes a commendable defence of Christian theism, interspersed with personal stories of his encounters with people he debated. It’s a great read, but really nothing new if you have watched a few of his debates. I was going by for something new, but it’s almost the same content as his YouTube debates
