3 Though any chapter could be taken alone, the book is intended to be read
in sequence, because each chapter builds on the chapters before. Chapter 1
is a discussion of faith, what it is, how to talk about it, and how to use
it in conversation. The rest of the book is based on the foundation laid on
Chapter 1.
Chapter 2 discusses the flaws in several arguments used to "prove" that
Christianity is true. It is my desire to discourage Christians from using
these arguments, because using flawed arguments is a terrible witness, and
only pushes potential converts further away from God. However, I do not
believe that most Christians realize the flaws in what they are saying. The
chapter does not refute Christianity; it shows why these arguments don't
support Christianity.
Chapter 3 shows how to rebuke various Atheist objections against
Christianity. Just as the Christian arguments in Chapter 2 don't prove
Christianity is right, the arguments discussed in Chapter 3 don't prove it's
wrong.
Chapter 4 discusses honest atheistic questions/objections that are geared
toward making Christians think. Similar to the questions in Chapter 3 (which
are designed to stump Christians), they are intended to be slam-dunk
arguments that any "thinking man should realize". However, there are answers
to these questions, and it shouldn't make Christians squirm to answer them.
Finally, Chapter 5 paints a picture of history and the world as it is, in
a way that acknowledges the glorious truths that Christians embrace and
the ugly truths that atheists use against us. I believe we Christians shy
away from discussing unpleasant observations about life, in favor of talking
only of God's love because it is pleasant. But, since God's truth is such a
good explanation for how atheistic observations can exist amid the Gospel, I
exhort you to embrace all truth as you go out and witness to your
intellectual acquaintances and friends.
Proceed in faith!
