Publisher's summary

The Christian faith has been vigorously defended with a variety of philosophical, historical, and theological arguments, but many of the arguments that worked in an earlier age no longer resonate in today's educated West. Where has apologetics gone wrong? What is the best response to the growing challenge presented by scientific discovery and naturalistic thought? Unlike every work on Christian apologetics that has come before, How to Defend the Christian Faith is the first one written by an atheist for Christians. As a former Christian defender who is now a leading atheist thinker, John Loftus answers these questions and more. He shows listeners why Christian apologists have failed to reach the intelligent nonbeliever and offers practical advice for Christians, whether they want to better defend their faith against atheist arguments, or actively convert more individuals to Christianity.

Good rebuttal to apologists

This is my first of Loftus' books. He does a good job of evaluating the arguments and bringing logical counters. He gets a little snarky towards the end which I could do without.

The reader was good with one notable exception. He wouldn't read quotations! This caused me to get confused many times. Otherwise his reading was great.

Do not read if wanting tools to witness

I thought this book was about an atheist who converted to Christianity and was giving advice on how to witness to other non believers. WRONG It is an atheist trying to put doubts in your mind while making money off your purchase. If you are a Christian please Do not support his efforts instead pray for him
