A rich scholarly and theological book

This excellent book covers many apologetic issues that are of interest in any environment, not just an inner city or within the urban context. Dr. Eric Mason and his team of contributors did not hold back. This book benefits Christians familiar with traditional apologetics but looking for an introduction to addressing our day's cultural/social issues. Every Pastor and believer must get this book and read it carefully, whether you currently live, work, or serve in an urban context. It should also be required reading for seminaries across our nation. The groups and issues discussed by Dr. Mason and his team are now firmly a part of the American landscape, and we are responsible to “make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you…” (1 Peter 3:15). This book is an invaluable help.

Informative

It takes a good general knowledge of christian idealology and church practices to follow these essays. Insightful and well articulated.

Truth for today!

Every word was appropriate. No criticism. Too short…. Wanted More and More. Love the pdf . Love that they are printable .

Very thorough and inspiring!

Very well put together. This is an awesome read
I am definitely inspired by this. Well done!

Great Book

Full of good information presented in an honest but loving way. We do need to examine things for ourselves instead of following family, a political party-line, or even a particular church. The truth can withstand scrutiny and examination. There's some meat in here that might need to be blended and chewed up for the babes.

Excellence!

This book was done in excellence. It is very informative and biblically accurate. It is much needed in our culture today which is plagued by relativism. This book is a guiding light back to a true and authentic relationship with Jesus! Well done all contributors. Thank you for your labors for the kingdom. Glory to God!!

Excellent work!

For this to be a scholarly work, the pace at which it was presented didn’t feel slow or stagnant. I thoroughly enjoyed the content and will revisit this from time to time.

Amazing!

This book was awesome. It shed light on how so many people have been led astray by cults and false teaching. It definitely motivated me to go out and share the true gospel to all the lost and deceived.
