When this showed up today as one of my recommendations, I remembered I read this book many, many years ago. Don't remember much about it and nowadays I don't think I'd be impressed with it.
A very good book. I think this is a book that every Christian should read! This will help you readily answer most of the objections to Christianity such as "noone really knows what the Bible really says" or "Jesus didn't really exist" or "the prophecies where all written after the event". This book is laid out in an unusual way that makes it easy to locate things, should you need to locate a particular historical fact quickly.
This popular apologetics work is dated and has been updated by a recent edition. Good information for the layman, or high school student.
Filled with stories and straw man examples that lead no where/ now here. Rejects "cliches" about belief, that no one uses, and refutes them. [4-5].
Brillant resource for Students, Preachers and Christian Workers
