What can we learn from Augustine about apologetics? This book shows
how Augustine defended the faith in late antiquity and how his
approach to engaging the culture has great significance for the
apologetic task today. Joshua Chatraw and Mark Allen, coauthors of
the award-winning Apologetics at the Cross (an Outreach magazine
and Gospel Coalition Resource of the Year), recover Augustine's
mature apologetic voice to address the challenges facing today's
church. The Augustine Way offers a compelling argument for
Christian witness that is rooted in tradition and engaged with
contemporary culture. It focuses on Augustine's best-known works,
Confessions and The City of God, to retrieve his scriptural and
ecclesial approach for a holistic apologetic witness. This book
will be useful for students as well as for pastors, church leaders,
and practitioners of Christian apologetics. It puts pastors and
churches back at the center of apologetics, transcending popular
contemporary methods with a view to a more effective witness in
post-Christendom.
"Motorola. Sun Microsystems. Charles Schwab. Toyota. These global
business leaders have bred excellence through innovative executive
and management development organizations that go well beyond
traditional job training. Known as corporate universities, these
entities are essentially strategic partners of their sponsoring
companies. Often working in conjunction with traditional
educational institutions, they boast cream-of-the-crop faculty from
the academic and business communities. Once the province of only
the largest corporations, corporate universities are fast becoming
the standard at smaller companies as well. This comprehensive
handbook is a valuable resource for companies of all sizes who are
considering (or already developing) enhanced professional learning
programs. Featuring contributions from experts at ten different
corporate universities, academic institutions, and consulting
firms, the book addresses the three major components of corporate
university success: organization, content, and processes. From
structural and financial models to the role of technology, from
curriculum development to evaluation approaches and measuring ROI,
here is a wealth of information on this major development in
professional education."
2019 Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year: Apologetics * 2018 The
Gospel Coalition Book Award: Evangelism & Apologetics
Apologetics at the Cross describes a much-needed approach to
defending Christianity that uses Jesus as a model and the letter of
1 Peter as a guiding text. This is a guidebook for how to defend
Christianity with Christ-like gentleness and respect toward those
who persecute the faith, making you a stronger witness to the good
news of the gospel than many other apologetics books that focus on
crafting unbreachable arguments. Joshua D. Chatraw and Mark D.
Allen first provide an introduction to the rich field of
apologetics and Christian witness, acquainting students and lay
learners with the rich history, biblical foundation, and ongoing
relevance of apologetics. Unique in its approach, Apologetics at
the Cross: Presents the biblical and historical foundations for
apologetics. Explores various contemporary methods for approaching
apologetics. Gives practical guidance in "how to" chapters that
feature many real-life illustrations. But their approach pays
special attention to the attitude and posture of the apologist,
outlining instructions for the Christian community centered on
reasoned answers, a humble spirit, and joy; rather than anger,
arrogance, and aggression. Chatraw and Allen equip Christians to
engage skeptics with the heart as well as the mind. Conversational
in tone and balanced in approach, Apologetics at the Cross provides
a readable introduction to the field of apologetics. You'll be
informed and equipped for engaging a wide range of contemporary
challenges with the best in Christian thought.
