Apologetics and the Christian Imagination

An Integrated Approach to Defending the Faith

De: Holly Ordway

Narrado por: Holly Ordway

Apologetics, the defense of the faith, shows why our Christian faith is true, but it's much more than that. Apologetics isn't just the province of scholars and saints but of ordinary men and women: parents, teachers, lay ministry leaders, pastors, and everyone who wants to develop a stronger faith and understand why we believe what we believe, to know our Lord better, and love him more fully.

In Apologetics and the Christian Imagination, Holly Ordway shows how an imaginative approach - in cooperation with rational arguments - is extremely valuable in helping people come to faith in Christ.

Making a case for the role of imagination in apologetics, this book proposes ways to create meaning for Christian language in a culture that no longer understands words like "sin" or "salvation", suggests how to discern and address the manipulation of language, and shows how metaphor and narrative work in powerful ways to communicate the truth. It applies these concepts to specific, key apologetics issues, including suffering, doubt, and longing for meaning and beauty.

Apologetics and the Christian Imagination shows how Christians can harness the power of the imagination to share the Faith in meaningful, effective ways.

The Way app

This is a brilliant and beautiful work. I will read this book again and readily recommend it to others.

***Highly Recommended***

Dr Ordway wrote an amazing book on one of the best approach to 21 century apologetics using the Christian imagination, read by the the author herself. This is a must have tool for every church’s apologetics department and every believer that’s interested in sharing the gospel of Christ in this post-modern world without fear.

Good info.

The author did a good job of reading. I was pleased with her overall approach and found it very interesting to hear.
