Book Review and Recommendation

"The Apologetics of Jesus", is the title of a book I am currently reading. The book is written by Norman L. Giesler and Patrick Zukeran. The subtitle is "A Caring Approach to Dealing with Doubters". The basic premise of the book is that since Jesus Christ was, and for Christians is, the greatest teacher who ever lived that it follows that He is the greatest apologist for Christianity that ever lived. Since an apologist uses reason and evidences to present a defense of the Christian faith and Jesus was confronted repeatedly with the need to defend His claim to be the Messiah, The Son of God, then by definition He was an apologist. The book is an easy and interesting read so far (4 chapters in) and all of the authors conclusions about Jesus' practice of apologetics are supported by references to scripture. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in apologetics from novice to someone that is experienced.

Yours in Christ's Amazing Love, Bob Best
