Description:
This collection of papers and other materials from English philosopher Peter S. Williams develops a holistic vision for Christian apologetics centered around a biblical understanding of spirituality. Grounded in two decades of practical experience, here is a vision of apologetics that's interested in communicating through beauty and goodness as well as logic and arguments.
Brief description: Based in Southampton, England, Christian philosopher and apologist Peter S. Williams (MA, MPhil, PGCert) aims to serve God, his Church and his world through a ministry of writing and speaking internationally on behalf of the truth, goodness and beauty of following Jesus. Over four decades, Peter has modelled a Christian approach to philosophy as "a discipline aimed at the wise pursuit and dissemination of true answers to significant questions," and has developed a vision of Christian apologetics as "a spiritual discipline of loving, humble service that tries to use virtue-oriented rhetoric to lead people to be persuaded that a God-centred way of life through faithfulness to Jesus as Lord is a rational, good and beautiful choice to make."
Review Quotes: "In Apologetics in 3D, Williams accomplishes two important tasks. First, he gives a broad survey of Meta-apologetics--that is, theories of apologetics. He achieves this task through a careful discussion of the approach of leading apologists. Second, he argues for a more holistic approach to apologetics. Following Paul Gould, Mako Fujimura, and others, he makes a case for appealing to the seekers' hearts as well as their minds. This short book is packed with insight and will stimulate discussion for years to come."
