The Popular Encyclopedia of Apologetics: Surveying the Evidence for the Truth of Christianity by Ed Hindson & Ergun Caner and published by Harvest House Publishers.
Apologetics is a multi-faceted gem. Some facets are more polished than others, some seem clearer than others, but all make up the precious stone that helps us make sense of the faith. Here are presented many of the elements involved in the defense of the faith, which the apostle Peter encourages to develop ("...be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear...").
The project has brought together dozens of experts, including highly recognizable names such as Al Mohler, David Noebel, Gary Habermas and Dillon Burroughs, to focus on apologetics as well as topics that either rely on or can inform good apologetics. Over 150 signed entries are presented for both budding apologetics and well-versed veterans to easily access, most with multiple reference sources for deeper study. Early church fathers, cults, heresies and philosophical ideas are given space to breathe alongside worldview, postmodernism, atheism and theories of truth. Extensive articles covering apologetics methods, Christ, the Bible, and God make this a thorough, comprehensive tome.
