Synopsis

How should we think about Christian apologetics in a society where people are encouraged to discover, determine and live their own truth? 

In this short book, Joe Boot explains that Christ-centred gospel witness is about getting to the heart of a person, for the root of unbelief is a heart condition, not a lack of evidence or convincing arguments. Dr. Boot considers some of the prevailing worldviews in the West today, demonstrating that their foundational problem is a refusal to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King. As we engage in witnessing to the gospel of the Kingdom, the heart and its attachment to cherished lies must be taken into account. 

Gospel Witness is part of the Cornerstones series of short books for Christians wishing to strengthen their understanding of the scope and implications of the gospel in the twenty-first century.

About this title

Review:

“Gospel Witness presents the modern reader with a profound analysis of the three systems that oppose belief in the truth of the Bible in our time—Islam, religious paganism and secularism....
A devastating but fair critique...Boot has his finger on the pulse of modern apologetics.”

Peter Jones, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Greek and New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary, Escondido, and Director of truthXchange

 

“This new series of monographs, by the British-Canadian Christian apologist and thinker Joe Boot, seeks to help twenty-first-century Christians interact in a scriptural manner with cultural trends, perspectives and presuppositions in every sphere of life, presentinga robust Christian critique and biblical defense.... Warmly recommended!”

Michael A.G. Haykin, Professor of Church History & Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
