The New Dictionary of Christian Apologetics is an essential resource for professors, students, pastors, and laypersons—essentially, for any Christian seeking to understand or articulate a rational explanation of the Christian faith in today's complex and ever-changing world. This comprehensive volume is packed with hundreds of articles that delve into key topics, historic figures, and contemporary global issues related to the study and practice of Christian apologetics. It is a valuable addition to any Christian library.
Edited by Gavin McGrath and W. C. Campbell-Jack, with consulting editor C. Stephen Evans, the dictionary is thoughtfully divided into two parts. Part one features a series of introductory essays that establish the framework for the dictionary. These essays explore the practice and significance of Christian apologetics, considering theological, historical, and cultural concerns.
Building on these foundational essays, part two presents a wealth of alphabetized articles on individuals, ideas, movements, and disciplines crucial to a rational explanation of the Christian faith. Both the essays and articles are crafted by leading Christian philosophers and theologians, making this work an indispensable resource for Christians navigating today's pluralistic age.
