The New Apologetics. This item is unavailable.The New Apologetics

In recent years, "apologetics" has gotten a bad rap, being falsely conflated with "arguing about religion," in the worst sense of the phrase. But for Christians, apologetics, or giving a reasoned explanation or defense of the faith, is a necessity and duty.

In fact, the cultural moment in which we find ourselves today demands, possibly more than any other time in history, a New Apologetics--a potent and spirited renewal of apologetics suited to today's world.

This groundbreaking collection is a bold first step toward making this renewal a reality. Featuring over forty essays from many of today's leading Catholic apologists, theologians, and philosophers, The New Apologetics charts a new course for the future of apologetics: a smart, joyful, and beautiful defense of the faith, one that appeals to both the head and the heart.
