    Relativism and pluralism are two major philosophical challenges faced by Christians today. Furthermore, the concept of religious pluralism is a direct challenge to orthodox Christianitys exclusivist claims. To this end, Paul Copan has done a great service for the church by addressing these challenges head on logically. philosophically, and biblically. The book consists of a preface and introduction, five major sections containing thirty-three chapters, and endnotes (see the table of contents below). All the chapters are titled after common statements and questions (e.g., Thats Just Your Opinion). The chapters contain a brief discussion of the issue expressed by the statement or question, a bulleted summary, and a further reading list. Both the discussion and format are helpful. One minor criticism though, is that some of the discussion gets a bit redundant. It might have been better to have grouped similar statements/questions together for one discussion.This book would be useful for Christians who have honest questions about their faith and Christians who are involved in evangelism and might need a bit of help in answering common questions. A free PDF study guide tied to the book is available at the authors website: www.paulcopan.com.

    In this thought provoking and insightful book, Paul Copan not only gives you rebuttals for conversation enders; but more importantly he addresses the thought patterns behind these mind sets.If you've ever failed to share your faith because you're afraid you'll run up on a comment you can't handle, this is the book for you!

    This book takes common sayings that seem true of the surface by digs deeper to uncover the true meaning. The concept of truth is challenged, misconceptions are revealed, understanding comes forth in this book. The summary at the end of each chapter is a valuable tool to solidify what is covered in each chapter. Excellent resource book to help defend your faith.

    Just wish I could read it without web access. It is well written, clear, easy to follow. I would like to highlight and make notes

    I was anxious to read this book and understand the religious objections I often heard from those around me that felt that my Christianity was a bit too radical, over spiritual, too judgmental, or just wrong.Paul Copan's book was a wonderful guide into understanding both what I believe and what the naysayers are in fact saying when they respond to witnessing and evangelization. His book is separated into five parts that contain" concise responses to the increasingly common challenges of relativism and religious pluralism, as well as the assault on Christ's uniqueness." While presenting thoughts from a more academic standpoint, he doesn't hesitate to use God's scripture as a means of justifying his positions. In fact, he goes on to say toward the end of the book, that we as believers, cannot "endorse what the Scriptures, do not", even as we lovingly share the Gospel with the others.I appreciated his ability to breakdown each of the different belief systems so that the reader could understand what an argument is essentially saying and why there was no solid ground support it. And yet, just as he shared in the introduction, he hoped that his book was an instrument of God's spirit to inform and encourage and that was definitely the case for me. It caused me to fully understand what it was I believed, substantiate those beliefs in scripture and really search God's word for a clearer understanding.This book was a wonderful resource and did prompt me to purse further study in the word and other sources to attempt to understand more clearly what God has allowed my eyes to see by His grace. If you've ever struggled to respond to objections to the Christian faith, this would be a great resource.
