Christian Authors & Readers discussion

I am looking for an excellent book on apologetics to give to someone. Does anyone have a recommendation of one you've read?

I have reviewed several apologetics books on my blog (T2Pneuma.net). Stephen

For a simple, easy to read "classic" apologetics book on the question of "Who is Jesus?", I recommend Josh McDowell's book: More Than A Carpenter.

Sorry, I hit enter to soon. Another really excellent book is: John Ortberg: "Who Is This Man?". Here is a 17 minute video to give you a flavor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkyWF...

Additionally, if this person you are giving the book to is already a believer that just wants a good reference guide on apologetics, Josh McDowell also published a book called, "A Ready Defense" which is like a dictionary of many examples of apologetics. I hope this helps.

For specific topics, I have a couple that have received strong reviews on Amazon.

Melchisedec - A Character Study

The Bible tells us that Jesus is FOREVER a Priest after the Order of Melchizedek... this books studies the attributes ascribed to Melchisedec in the Bible and compares them with Jesus.
____________________

Baptisms - One? Many? Or Both?

This book finds all the references to "baptism" in the Bible and studies the elements of each.

If either of these topics interests you... please read the Amazon reviews.

Note: The Melchisedec ebook is on sale today.

Thanks Stephen! I will check that out. I appreciate the reply. Have a great day.

Thanks so much. These may be really helpful for me in talking to her as well. I will look into both of these.

I haven't read it in a long time, but I remember Josh McDowell's The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict: Fully Updated being a pretty substantial work. It addresses an enormous amount of issues, and I was pretty influenced by it when I was younger.

I also really enjoyed William Paley's old Evidence Of Christianity. It is dreadfully outdated in many ways (he argues, for instance, that Isaiah was most likely written before the gospels - something the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery makes all but certain), but it is a masterpiece of logical reasoning that very few modern apologists can compete with. It is worth the read just to see the way he supports his thesis.
