This is an interesting book, Paul Copan has worked to compile the most common arguments against Christianity and writes a sort of rebuttal system to use against each.

However, i do think this book could possibly end up being very dangerous.

I could very easily see this becoming a "translation" book for well-meaning Christians to just start flipping through the pages - just like tourists in a foreign country.

I don't think this is the smartest nor most effective way to share Christ's love. I don't want to argue my "cause" - just live it. In many ways i find it more enjoyable and not to mention long-lasting for a person to immerse themselves in another country. You learn the little intricacies and traditions of a culture that had you taken a more brash approach, you would never had found. I think it would be a wise thing for Christian apologists to do as well.

If this book is the sort of thing you're looking for, a straight-forward, focused on "winning" the sinner rather then befriending, this is a good book. However, it is not what I'm looking for, i would rather have my discussions of faith be an organic offshoot of a deep friendship.
