A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
Presuppositional apologetics applied: a defense of the faith with a close eye to contemporary culture. Throughout, attention is given to the human heart as the center of our discussions about faith. As Hibbs writes, “If apologetics is a matter of the heart, and if hearts must be offended before they embrace the truth, then no apologetic method is worth pursuing if it leaves a part of a rebellious heart unchallenged. All of the human heart and every facet of life must meet the gospel head on.”
