About the Book

Is the Bible God’s Word? Yes. Is Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, and the only Mediator between a sinful people and a perfect, holy, and righteous God? Yes! Is the Christian faith supported by reasonable, provable, historical, archaeological, and philosophical evidence? Yes, yes, and yes!

The word apologetics comes from two Greek words, apo (out from) and logos (logic), and it literally means to give out a logical defense (apologia). In Christianity, it means to give out logical reasons for our faith, to defend the truth of Scripture, and to give reasons for believing in Christ.

Like Paul, I am “set for the defense (apologia) of the gospel” (Philippians 1:17). Like Peter, I am “ready always to give an answer (apologia)” to everyone who asks why I trust Christ (1 Peter 3:15). Like Jude, I am prepared to earnestly contend (epi-agōnízomai: agonize, fight) for the faith (Jude 3).

I have written this book to defend and contend for the Christian faith; I want to let others know why I believe the Bible is God’s Word and Jesus is God’s Son (2 Timothy 3:16; John 1:34).

Michael is very knowledgeable and a consummate communicator. In the spirit of C.S. Lewis, Michael exhibits a knack for making the complex simple. He writes in a personal and conversational manner, which makes it easy to read and understand. I think you will find that, after each chapter, you will feel as though you have just finished an enjoyable conversation with an old friend and come away with a better understanding of, and confidence in, the Christian faith.

A timely study to fill a great need in the body of Christ. This book will prepare and encourage the novice and the scholar to be more eager to defend their faith with the utmost confidence. No matter how controversial the subject, you can feel the author’s unashamed trust in the veracity of the Scriptures and truly believe that the Creator of the Universe has conveyed His will to humanity throughout its holy pages.
