Overview
We cannot love others well without speaking the truth Loving our neighbors well includes engaging in robust conversations that destabilize false belief systems. In addressing the mind, will, and emotions of actual, complex people, Christian believers must develop various approaches to meet diverse personalities and multiple connection points. In Persuasive Apologetics, pastor and professor Jeffrey M. Robinson explores what's below the surface of intellectual-sounding objections to Christianity. He shows what it means to contend for the truth through real-life examples of communicating with those who hold differing beliefs. Robinson covers foundational and practical issues, such as - the importance of demeanor in being persuasive - various apologetic approaches - the influence of worldview presuppositions - using undercutting defeaters to expose faulty thinking - causes of nonbelief - the historical Jesus compared with figureheads of competing belief systems - the hope that Jesus offers Persuasive Apologetics will challenge serious seekers to peel back the layers of skeptical arguments and equip committed Christians looking to hone their apologetics skills.

Reviews
"""Consider this volume a one-size-fits-all text, which is not surprising considering that Jeff Robinson is a pastor with an earned PhD. Accordingly, this book moves from why apologetics is needed to worldviews, methodology, particular tactics, answers to world religions, the problem of evil, and the believer's final hope of eternity. After all, if Christianity is true, it ought to be applied in very practical ways! Check it out--highly recommended!""--Gary R. Habernas ""Distinguished Research Professor, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA"" (4/10/2023 12:00:00 AM) ""This incredible book is the perfect balance of mind and heart. Jeff Robinson, a pastor of a church in South Florida where sixty-six first-generation nations are represented, knows how to connect with the world and culture. He has a heart to love people and to reach them. And he has the academic prowess to know how to guide challenging biblical conversations. I commend highly his book...""--Thom S.
