ajmaese 's review for:
Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith
by Douglas Groothuis
A strong cumulative case apologetic for Christianity.
Strong points: Positive arguments for God's existence from natural theology are well thought out with good answers to common objections. Excellent treatment of the problem of evil from a compatibilist perspective.
Weak points: Transcendental argument could have been presented more compellingly. Arguments for the uniqueness and veracity of Christianity against rival worldviews are good, but leave much to be desired. Treatment of the resurrection is very basic; utilizes the minimal facts method. Objections to natural theology in apologetics are too easily put aside in my opinion.
Overall: An excellent introductory text covering the most common apologetic issues. If you favor cumulative case apologetics, then this book is for you.
