Apologetics at the Cross: Audio Lectures

These audio lectures are a unique learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Apologetics at the Cross: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Amid the pluralism and secularism of Western culture, Christian apologetics has experienced a renewal of interest. In Apologetics at the Cross: Audio Lectures, Liberty professors Joshua D. Chatraw and Mark D. Allen provide an undergraduate-level introduction to the field, acquainting formal students and lay learners with the rich history and ongoing relevance of apologetics.

Apologetics at the Cross: Audio Lectures is unique in its approach, which is:

• Practical, including "how to" discussions and real-life illustrations
• Balanced, bringing together the best of evidential and presuppositional apologetics
• Biblical, grounding apologetics strongly in biblical studies
• Lovingly dialogical, enabling Christian to engage skeptics with the heart as well as the mind
• Historical, attuned to how objections to the faith have been dealt with in the past
• Up-to-date, explaining the approaches of leading philosophers and apologists
• Transferrable, available for various contexts including church, parachurch, and personal apologetics

Conversational and accessible, Apologetics at the Cross: Audio Lectures provides a classroom-level introduction to the field of apologetics. Listeners will be informed and equipped for engaging disbelief with the best in Christian thought.
