Mission-Centered Apologetics

Apologetics has become a major ministry, even a big business, in the Christian church. But have apologists lost sight of their mission? In many cases, apologetics seems to have become an end in itself, disconnected from any larger evangelistic effort. In Mission-Centered Apologetics, Don McIntosh argues that the ministry of apologetics is essentially a tool of evangelism, and therefore apologetics must have a missionary purpose. He then analyzes four intellectual "stumbling blocks" that often stand in the way of faith, and suggests ways to address them in the context of preaching the gospel of Jesus.
