Challenges to Christianity come from a variety of people and beliefs, and Christians are continually searching for the appropriate responses to critics of their faith. Yet until now there has been no definitive one-volume encyclopedia designed to equip believers for Christian defense against the full range of opposing arguments.

The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics is such a work. This comprehensive reference volume covers every key issue, person, and concept related to Christian apologetics. Written entirely by leading apologist Norman Geisler, it stands as the culmination of the author’s life-long career and ministry.

The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics offers valuable information and advice to a wide audience: pastors and Christian leaders, students on college campuses, those involved in counter-cult ministries–all Christians who encounter skeptics.

The author provides extensive coverage of:
• individuals, such as Karl Marx and C. S. Lewis
• general apologetics topics, such as the types of apologetics
• specific challenges, such as the reliability of the Bible
• philosophical systems, such as =existentialism
• philosophical concepts, such as the principle of sufficient reason
• biblical issues, such as the resurrection
• contemporary concerns, such as postmodernism
• perennial apologetic arguments, such as the problem of evil
The encyclopedia also features two indexes (subject and Scripture) that allow readers to easily locate the specific information they need.

There is no better reference book on Christian apologetics in print. Dr. Geisler has produced a monumental work that will be a resource for Christian thinkers for years to come. No serious Christian apologist should be without it.–Francis J. Beckwith, Ph.D.; associate professor of philosophy, culture, and law, Trinity International University

This is the best encyclopedia of apologetics, the one volume that a teacher, college student, parent, or other serious Christian would want, if they had to choose one volume. The book has a wealth of information and analysis defending the faith, in an age where the world uniquely attacks the truth of the Bible. Only a scholarly author of forty books could begin such a needed project. Only a person deeply committed to the truth of Scripture could finish writing this masterful encyclopedia.–Wendell R. Bird, Attorney-at-law, Bird & Associates, P.C.
