Pre-Order an Apologetics Book—and Get the Book Early!
An opportunity to take a sneak peek at a forthcoming book
I have a new book coming soon!
On August 1, 2025, Tyndale House and Hendrickson Academic will release Understanding Christian Apologetics: Five Methods for Defending the Faith. This book was cowritten with five amazing fellow authors: Melissa Cain Travis, Sean McDowell, James N. Anderson, D.A. Horton, and Keith Plummer.
One of the most important aspects of a book release has to do with how many copies of the book are pre-ordered on Amazon.com. With that in mind, could I ask you to consider pre-ordering the book on Amazon.com at some point before August 1, especially if it’s the type of book you’d read anyway?
But I don’t want to ask you to do this without giving you something in return.
Here’s what I want to give to you: After you have pre-ordered Understanding Christian Apologetics, if you will let me know that you pre-ordered the book, I will send you a copy of the book in PDF, so that you can read it before it’s released.
Sound good?
If so, here’s what to do:
Pre-order Understanding Christian Apologetics before August 1, 2025. Here’s a link to pre-order the book: Understanding Christian Apologetics.
Email my assistant Patrick Caley (PCaley@SBTS.edu) and let him know that you pre-ordered the book.
Receive a PDF copy of the book free of charge!
If you’re still uncertain about whether you need to read this book, here’s a quick description:
God has called Christians to be prepared to defend their hope in Christ, but what’s the best method for making this defense? In this book, five expert apologists set out together to determine which approach to apologetics is the most faithful to Scripture and the most useful in a secular age. In this fast-paced, and thorough exploration, enjoy learning:
Solid, scriptural defenses for the use of apologetics
Five different approaches to apologetics (and how to employ them)
And much more
Understanding Apologetics presents in counterpoint form five popular approaches to the defense of the Christian faith that have developed throughout history―from the early days of Christianity through to our practices today. Apologetics philosophies explored here include:
Cultural Apologetics
Presuppositional Apologetics
Evidential Apologetics
Classical Apologetics
Ecclesial Apologetics
