Apologetic Opportunism

You may have noticed by now that I get a number of release tips from Bryan Wolfmueller’s Wednesday What-Not emails. I’ll admit it. One book he mentioned at some point in the not-do-distant past is Apologetic Opportunism by Lutheran author, Rev. Brian Flamme.

Called to Defend

Christians are called to defend the faith. Saint Paul put it beautifully when he described himself as “put here for the defense of the gospel” (Philippians 1:16b). But that doesn’t mean we can’t benefit from guidance and support, not only for ourselves but for all ages.

Scrooge! Ba Humbug!

New find from a Lutheran novelist and it looks amazing! Scrooge and the Question of God’s Existence, written by Steve Luhring, is about doubts about God and the Christian faith. It presents the marvelous scenario, “What would happen if Scrooge’s Christmas ghosts had given time and attention to addressing the existence of God, suffering, and purpose?” It uses a holiday classic as a forum to ponder common apologetic concerns!
