About Five Views on ApologeticsFive Views on Apologetics examines the “how-to” of apologetics, putting five prominent views under the microscope: Classical, Evidential, Presuppositional, Reformed Epistemology, and Cumulative Case. Offering a forum for presentation, critique, and defense, this book allows the contributors for the different viewpoints to interact. Like no other book, Five Views on Apologetics lets you compare and contrast different ways of “doing” apologetics. Your own informed conclusions can then guide you as you meet the questions of a needy world with the claims of the gospel. Contents and contributors: • “Classical Aplogetics,” William Lane Craig • “Evidential Apologetics,” Gary R. Habermas • “Cumulative Case Apologetics,” Paul D. Feinberg • “Presuppositional Apologetics,” John M. Frame • “Reformed Epistemology Apologetics,” Kelly James Clark |
