Publisher's Synopsis
The position of this book is in broad sympathy with the school of thought that sees "faith seeking understanding." It is the biblical gospel that saves, and biblical and theological truths need to be understood in order for the gospel to be saved from distortion. Apologetic arguments are secondary, and should be derived from the gospel itself. In other words, apologetic arguments must not be detached and isolated from the faith that is being defended. Defending the faith assumes there is a faith that is being defended. The objective faith is logically prior to its own defense. The first four chapters of this book trace out the flow and logic of the gospel. The remaining chapters examine some of the arguments that are currently used by apologists in the defense of the faith. This book only 'saves' the gospel to the extent that it accurately articulates the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.
