Cardinal Avery Dulles A History of Apologetics
ip 0898709334 / 9780898709339
Making the case for the Christian faith—apologetics—has always been part of the Church's mission. Yet Christians sometimes have had different approaches to defending the faith, responding to the needs of their respective times and framing their arguments to address the particular issues of their day. Cardinal Avery Dulles’s A History of Apologetics provides a masterful overview of Christian apologetics, from its beginning in the New Testament through the Middle Ages and on to the present resurgence of apologetics among Catholics and Protestants. Dulles shows how Christian apologists have at times both criticized and drawn from their intellectual surroundings to present the reasonableness of Christian belief. Written by one of Catholicism's leading American theologians, A History of Apologetics also examines apologetics in the 20th and early 21st centuries including its decline among Catholics following Vatican II and its recent revival, as well as the contributions of contemporary Evangelical Protestant apologists. Dulles also considers the growing Catholic-Protestant convergence in apologetics. No student of apologetics and contemporary theology should be without this superb and masterful work. "The historical information that Cardinal Dulles gathers and the analysis that he gives of the history of the apologetical method will be invaluable to today's apologists." —Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism and Fundamentalism "This learned book is an insightful guide through two thousand years of Christians reflecting on the beauty of their faith in Jesus Christ illuminating rather than darkening reason. Cardinal Dulles presents apologetics as a much needed antidote to narrow minded oppositions between faith and reason." —Rev. Matthew L. Lamb, Ave Maria University Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J., is the author of over 700 articles and 22 books. He has served on the International Theological Commission and as a member of the United States Lutheran/Roman Catholic Coordinating Committee. He is presently an advisor to the Committee on Doctrine of the NCCB, and is the Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society at Fordham University.Length: 420 pages Edition: Paperback

G. K. Chesterton Orthodoxy
Orthodoxy. Arguably one of the most brilliant apologetic books in the English language! Chesterton wrote Orthodoxy in 1908 as a response to a challenge from one of his readers to state his creed. Rarely has any challenge been more gloriously and chivalrously met. This is early Chesterton at his best: sparkling paradoxes, breathtaking wordplay, trenchant argument and blinding logic. His work is witty and insightful, illustrating the reasonableness of orthodoxy despite the attacks of its critics. The book also provides a spiritual autobiography, as Chesterton employs his own discovery of orthodox Christianity in order to defend its beauty and its sanity against modern secular schools of philosophy. Chesterton manages to challenge his reader intellectually, while still appealing to a child-like sense of awe at the world around us. 398 pp

James Akin The Salvation controversy
There are times when you just know, as if by instinct, and often before you're able to say exactly why, that an argument you're hearing is fatally flawed; it gives off something like the hollow thunk of cheap glass.

At the banquet table of apologetics, James Akin's The Salvation Controversy is the finest of fine crystal. 154 pages

Peter Kreeft Christianity for Modern Pagans
0898704529 / 9780898704525 Pascal's Pensées
Peter Kreeft believes that Blaise Pascal is the first post-medieval apologist. No writer in history, claims Kreeft, is a more effective Christian apologist and evangelist to today's uprooted, confused, secularized pagans (inside and outside the Church) than Pascal. He was a brilliant man--a great scientist who did major work in physics and mathematics, as well as an inventor--whom Kreeft thinks was three centuries ahead of his time. His apologetics found in his Pensées are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic. Kreeft has selected the parts of Pascal's Pensées which best respond to the needs of modern man, and offers his own comments on applying Pascal's wisdom to today's problems. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth.

Peter Kreeft Refutation of Moral Relativism
ip 0898707315 / 9780898707311 Interviews with an Absolutist
No issue is more fateful for civilization than moral relativism. History knows not one example of a successful society which repudiated moral absolutes. Yet most attacks on relativism have been either pragmatic (looking at its social consequences) or exhorting (preaching rather than proving), and philosophers' arguments against it have been specialized, technical, and scholarly. In his typical unique writing style, Peter Kreeft lets an attractive, honest, and funny relativist interview a "Muslim fundamentalist" absolutist so as not to stack the dice personally for absolutism. In an engaging series of personal interviews, every conceivable argument the "sassy Black feminist" reporter Libby gives against absolutism is simply and clearly refuted, and none of the many arguments for moral absolutism is refuted. Click here here to read a converation with Peter Kreeft on the Dictatorship of Relativism. "Kreeft offers up a zesty mix of exhilarating conversation and solid logic in this entertaining and enlightening book. You won't find a better defense of moral absolutes or a more devastating critique of relativism than the one offered in these pages, yet Kreeft maintains his humorous touch throughout. An enjoyable and rewarding book." —William K. Kilpatrick, Author, Why Johnny Can't Tell Right from Wrong "We've come to expect nothing less than the most readable and engaging books from the great apologist, Peter Kreeft. He has an uncanny knack to take profound truths and get them across in entertaining and exciting conversation, as he has done here. Once again, Kreeft does not disappoint us." —Chuck Colson, Author, Loving God

Peter Kreeft Yes or No?
ip 0898703581 / 9780898703580
The popular Christian apologist Kreeft tackles many of the tough questions of our day concerning Christianity. In a series of imaginative "dialogues", Sal the Seeker and Chris the Christian deal with the profound mysteries of the Gospel. The result is a book that is both engaging and profound, a book that leads readers to initial faith—or to deeper faith. "The stakes in these dialogues are high. Christianity is God's marriage proposal to the soul, says Kreeft, and the answer must be "yes" or "no". We can evade the claims of Jesus Christ for a while, but death brings evasion to an end. It is wiser to look at Christianity honestly now. Yes or No? shows the truth of Jesus' promise that those who sincerely seek the truth shall find it. It is a road map for those who are honestly seeking the truth and a source of greater faith for those how have already found God. It presents the full challenge of the gospel in a way modern men and women can understand. Lots of writers have the gift of irony, or humor, or logic, or common sense. Very few combine all these gifts in one talent and put it at the service of truth. Peter Kreeft is simply the best, the most engaging, Christian apologist at work today, and this book is another example of a master craftsman at his peak." — Francis X. Maier, Editor, National Catholic Register "An apologetical work which is orthodox in content, appealing in approach, and covers all the fundamental bases of Christianity. Ideal for Catholic high school or college, RCIA, or simply as a refresher." — Fr. Peter Stravinskas, Editor, The Catholic Answer Length: 192 pages Edition: Paperback
