Summary: "Christian apologetics is in crisis. Old concepts do no longer hold and post-modern development pose new questions. Benno van den Toren argues for an apologetic witness that is an exercise in cross-cultural dialogue aimed at persuading our conversation partners of the relevance of a life centred on the reality revealed in Jesus Christ. Some significant steps have been made toward the development of such a new apologetic practice. The aim of this book is to provide theological and philosophical basis for a new paradigm for Christian apologetic dialogue with our post-modern and multi-cultural world and to work out its practical relevance." -- Publisher's description.
