Outreach 2022 Resource of the Year (Apologetics) 2021 Book Award
Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Evangelism & Apologetics)
Christianity Today 2022 Book Award Finalist (Apologetics &
Evangelism) Southwestern Journal of Theology 2021 Book of the Year
Award (Honorable Mention, Christian Worldview/Apologetics) It has
never been more important to articulate the wonder and enchantment
of the Christian message. Yet the traditional approaches of
apologetics are often outmoded in an age of profound disenchantment
and distraction, unable to meet this pressing need. This winsome
apologetics book for a new generation makes the case that
Christianity offers a compelling explanatory framework for making
sense of our world. Pastor and writer Gavin Ortlund believes it is
essential to appeal not only to the mind but also to the heart and
the imagination as we articulate the beauty of the gospel. Why God
Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't reimagines four classical
theistic arguments--cosmological, teleological, moral, and
Christological--making a cumulative case for God as the best
framework for understanding the storied nature of reality. The book
suggests that Christian theism can explain such things as the
elegance of math, the beauty of music, and the value of love. It is
suitable for use in classes yet accessibly written, making it a
perfect resource for churches and small groups.
In Humility, Gavin Ortlund explains that humility is not just an
abstract virtue but a mark of gospel integrity, casting a vision
for gospel-centered humility that is ultimately self-forgetfulness
leading to joy.
This book aims to set forth a vision for theological retrieval,
demonstrating through specific doctrines how engaging historical
theology can enrich and strengthen the church today-without
abandoning a Protestant identity.
Pastor Gavin Ortlund uses four basic categories of doctrine to help
church leaders consider how and what to prioritize in doctrine and
ministry, encouraging humility and grace along the way.
How might premodern exegesis of Genesis inform Christian debates
about creation today? Imagine a table with three people in
dialogue: a young-earth creationist, an old-earth creationist, and
an evolutionary creationist. Into the room walks Augustine of
Hippo, one of the most significant theologians in the history of
the church. In what ways will his reading of Scripture and his
doctrine of creation inform, deepen, and shape the conversation?
Pastor and theologian Gavin Ortlund explores just such a scenario
by retrieving Augustine's reading of Genesis 1-3 and considering
how his premodern understanding of creation can help Christians
today. Ortlund contends that while Augustine's hermeneutical
approach and theological questions might differ from those of
today, this church father's humility before Scripture and his
theological conclusions can shed light on matters such as
evolution, animal death, and the historical Adam and Eve. Have a
seat. Join the conversation.
