Reviews
--Jeremy Evans, senior pastor, Woodridge Baptist Church, Kingwood, Texas
"Dayton Hartman and Michael McEwen do a marvelous job on addressing an often-overlooked issue within our local churches today. Oftentimes pastors and leaders communicate to church members that Christian beliefs and thinking is still the prevalent worldview. We all and always need the gospel to challenge the pillars of our lives that are at times not grounded in the scriptures. Dayton and Michael demonstrate very clearly the necessity and the biblical warrant for apologetics in our local church context today. This book is essential for Christian leaders, equipping them with the necessary skillsets to encourage believers who are regularly faced with perspectives that are counter to the gospel."
--Douglas A. Logan Jr., president of Grimké Seminary
"To be Christian involves pursuing and delighting in the truth. The work of the pastor involves not only loving and preaching the truth, but also lovingly proving this truth to the church time and time again. In this book you'll find a winsome invitation to carry out pastoral ministry as an apologist who lovingly eviscerates the lies of the enemy, and consistently upholds Jesus--who is himself the truth."
--Tony Merida, pastor for preaching and vision, Imago Dei Church, Raleigh, North Carolina
"Among the many responsibilities of a pastor, the discipline to give a reason for our Christian hope remains central to our preaching, shepherding, and counseling. This, as Hartman and McEwen suggest, is pastoral apologetics. For a discipline that sometimes garners the reputation of mere intellectual defensiveness, Hartman and McEwen offer a winsome and humble approach for pastors that is biblically grounded, historically informed, anchored in the confidence of Christ's resurrection, and highly practical. As a seminary professor and pastor, I'm thrilled to see such a helpful resource to remind and equip pastors in the important task of defending the faith."
--Benjamin Quinn, associate professor of theology and history of ideas and associate director of the Center for Faith and Culture, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
