Every Thought Captive: a Study Manual for the Defense of the Truth (Richard L. Pratt Jr.)

Description

In down-to-earth language Richard L. Pratt, Jr., has given us this helpful study manual on apologetics, the task of defending the faith. Far from a theoretical exposition, this training manual teaches how to answer nonbelievers and to "take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." Pratt shows how the biblical doctrines about humanity and our relationship to our Creator determine how we should do apologetics. Within this theological framework he examines the premises, attitudes, and specific steps involved in a genuinely biblical defense of Christianity. Illustrations and review questions help to make this a valuable tool for individual or group study.

Endorsements

"Richard Pratt has written a manual to help ordinary people engage in apologetics along the lines of Van Til’s approach. In the process he has translated the philosophical terminology of Van Tillian apologetics into everyday language. . . . both sound and stimulating."

—Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

"Presents Reformed (or Van Tillian) apologetics in genuinely popular language. . . . In this respect, PrattÕs book is something of a breakthrough. I would expect and hope that this accomplishment will give the book a wide hearing."

—John M. Frame
