My Apologetics Dinner Party ebook

Faith Conversations for a Modern World Have you ever wanted to look over the shoulder of an expert apologist as he has conversations about faith? Louis Markos, acclaimed author of From Plato to Christ and Passing the Torch, gives you a seat at his table for an international potluck dinner held in his home, where guests from many faith traditions and walks of life engage in spirited discussion about faith, miracles, and the meaning of life. My Apologetics Dinner Party presents a method of talking about Christian faith that is not based primarily on propositional logic or the defense of truth claims (though these features do show up). Instead, he aims to clarify what Christians actually believe through a winsome and engrossing narrative in the tradition of Socratic dialogue. The fictional conversations in this book are rooted in real-life interactions Professor Markos has had with skeptics, seekers, and adherents of other faiths throughout a lifetime as a professional apologist for Christianity. In My Apologetics Dinner Party, you will - get a unique opportunity to look over the shoulder of an expert apologist in action. - observe a laid-back, conversational approach to evangelism built upon hospitality and designed for life in a modern, pluralistic society. - see an example of how to engage in conversational apologetics among people of diverse cultural, educational, and religious backgrounds. - hear dialogues, rather than debates, as creative narrative in the Socratic tradition. You'll be entertained as well as enlightened as you're taken up in the banter, humor, and atmosphere of lively dinner conversation—only to find at the end that some of your deepest questions have been addressed. If you are looking for a book that will show you how to discuss your faith in a real-life setting with friends who have deep questions to ask but don't want to hear a sermon, or a book you could give to curious seekers to read on their own, you'll find it in My Apologetics Dinner Party.
