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.
