KOG Book 5 Biblical Apologetics

How Does God Really Want Us to Prove Christianity

Christian apologetics is the endeavor to prove “There is salvation in no one else [but Jesus Christ].  God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

By far the most popular approach is an intellectual one that marshals scientific, historical, and philosophical arguments to defend the Christian faith.  However, this book makes the following claims:

• Intellectual apologetics has no biblical support, including the often quoted 1 Peter 3:15.
• The Apostle Paul actually denounced the use of intellectual apologetics for evangelism.
• Virtue apologetics, which proves the salvific exclusivity of Christianity by the superior love and holiness of Spirit-indwelled believers, is repeatedly commanded in Scripture and demonstrated in real life and history.
• Claims to Christian immorality in both history and modern research are not true.

While there are a multitude of books on intellectual apologetics, this author could not find a biblical study that explains, defends, and encourages virtue apologetics.  So he wrote one.
