Explaining Your Faith

With a little preparation, any believer can confidently answer questions about God. It is not difficult to answer when seeking hearts want to know more about your beliefs. Explaining Your Faith is a guide to friendly, relaxed apologetics. Alister McGrath's brief, intelligible responses answer the questions most likely to be asked about your faith. Familiarized yourself with these brief answers. Repeat them in your own words. Think about why they are important. And file their main points away in your memory. McGrath gives tips for unforced sharing. He identifies what unbelievers are most interested in learning when they approach a Christian with their questions. A worthy apologist, he observes, is not trying to win argument wax eloquent, or get a commitment signed on the dotted line. The apologist's job is to nurture a positive feeling for the gospel that may require years to visibly bear fruit. First published in 1988, Explaining Your Faith has been updated and a new chapter added on gender roles.
