What? Another book on apologetics? Do we really need this?
Yes. Because unfortunately, once again the skeptic is trying
to shake up the believer.
We are told to always be ready to give an answer for our
belief. That is what the realm of apologetics is all about. It is not
apologizing for something but giving facts to back up what you believe.
Broocks seems to feel a need to once again prove the
existence of a man called Jesus and the resurrection story. He sees skeptics
again trying to say Jesus is a myth.
A common accusation of skeptics is that Christians believe in
the resurrection merely because the Bible says so. And if they can disprove the
Bible account, they feel they have won the battle.
There are proofs. All proofs can be found in history. His crucifixion
by a man called Pontius Pilate, a Roman leader, is historical. There is an
empty tomb and that also is historical.
I felt the author was fair with the discussion. The facts are
presented in an easy to understand and digest manner. The reader will have to
stop from time to time in the reading and think through the conclusions.
Whether you agree with the facts or not, the way it is set down will give you
much to consider.
This book was sent to me gratis from booklookbloggers.com (www.booklookbloggers.com) for the
purpose of this review. I was not required to give a positive review and the
conclusions reached are mine and not those of the publisher.
