Apolo-WHAT?: Christian Apologetics for the Garden-Variety Pewsitter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692591642)

Is Christianity True? As an active member of his church, Adam Neubauer noticed a glaring weakness among the typical congregant (pewsitter): an unfamiliarity with the topic of Christian apologetics. When Adam would ask a fellow Christian about apologetics, he received the response: "Apolo-WHAT?" Seeking to bridge this gulf in knowledge, Adam wrote a series of articles in his church's monthly newsletter which has been reworked into Apolo-What?. Apolo-WHAT Does This Mean? Praise from Rev. Richard A. Heinz, B.A., M.Div., Pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, Chicago, IL Apolo-WHAT? invites you to wrestle with concepts like truth, evolution, suffering, and the existence of God, with the prayer that you will be further drawn into the life of Christ's Church, where He gives His saving Word and Sacrament. Ultimately, matters dealing with the Lord God and the salvation He gives can only be received in faith. Yet many outside that faith need convincing and persuading that come through observable knowledge and logic. For them, after such convincing, they will be open to listening to God's Word. Apolo-WHAT? helps you engage such knowledge and logic through apologetics and ultimately wrestle with the Word of God. What is apologetics? Apologetics is a defense of the Christian faith that uses God's creation to open the doors for the preaching and teaching of His Law and Gospel, to give repentance and to create and sustain faith. Adam Neubauer approaches the topic of apologetics from a biblical, confessionally Lutheran background, and gives laymen a thorough familiarity of many "arguments" with which to persuade. Full of detail, he remains approachable for a wide range of readers. Developed from a series of articles for a monthly publication of his congregation, the author has excelled in bringing his work into this final book form.
