Their aim is to equip believers to share their faith with skeptics and answer some of their own unasked questions.<\/p>\n<p>This user-friendly book is divided into 3 sections. Part 1 is about sharing your faith and includes a chapter on church history. Part 2 covers the minimal facts approach; this approach considers data that meets two criteria, first the data is strongly evidenced and second virtually all scholars, even skeptics, must accept the data. Part 3 looks at opposing theories of the resurrection, objections, and skeptical questions are answered here. Part 4 covers additional issues and a chapter on people skills.<\/p>\n<p>The book has an appendix, copious notes and a computer game to quiz yourself. I can see this book as a great teaching tool for evangelism and apologetics.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by Patricia Riley.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Originally published on the Pneuma Foundation (parent organization of PneumaReview.com) website.
