Persuasive Apologetics

The Art of Handling Tough Questions Without Pushing People Away

Author: Jeffrey M. Robinson

We cannot love others well without speaking the truth

Loving our neighbors well includes engaging in robust conversations that destabilize false belief systems. In addressing the mind, will, and emotions of actual, complex people, Christian believers must develop various approaches to meet diverse personalities and multiple connection points.

In Persuasive Apologetics, pastor and professor Jeffrey M. Robinson explores what's below the surface of intellectual-sounding objections to Christianity. He shows what it means to contend for the truth through real-life examples of communicating with those who hold differing beliefs. Robinson covers foundational and practical issues, such as

the importance of demeanor in being persuasive

various apologetic approaches

the influence of worldview presuppositions

using undercutting defeaters to expose faulty thinking

causes of nonbelief

the historical Jesus compared with figureheads of competing belief systems

the hope that Jesus offers

Persuasive Apologetics will challenge serious seekers to peel back the layers of skeptical arguments and equip committed Christians looking to hone their apologetics skills.
