"Alister McGrath puts (apologetics) back on the agenda. His efforts to explore what is involved in apologetics and see how they have evolved over the years are to be welcomed. Christians have grown lazy when it comes to sifting world and life issues through a Biblical framework and responding accordingly." Evangelical Presbyterian

"(McGrath) wants to get apologetics out of the seminar room and into the minds of Christian evangelists." Lawrence Osborn

"I suggest that not only students and preachers, but ordinary church members should be encouraged to read, mark, and inwardly digest what Michael Green calls 'This brilliant book'."

"(McGrath's book) concerns the important subject of how Christians should witness to those who do not believe. ... apologetics, how we present truth, is a central issue. It affects every fibre of our thinking. Apologetics is basic to our evangelism .. ." Reformation Today

"This book is always fresh and practical, exploring the nub of the issues theologically in order to sharpen our proclamation. This book deserves a great innings. Those who are concerned to speak effectively to a disbelieving world ... will relish this book and find it of enormous help and encouragement." Peter May

"The author reminds us that Christian apologetics is an essential tool for committed Christians ... It is a vital part of the equipment for all Christians concerned with preaching and evangelism." John Perry, Christian Bookseller
