J. Gresham Machen once said, "False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel" - which makes apologetics that much more important. Wanting to engage not just academics and pastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology.

The Bible is clear that all believers are called to defend their faith. However, if apologetics is the formal process that we have come to expect, this sounds like an impossible task. But what if apologetics could be part of natural, normal conversation ― both from the pulpit and in everyday life?

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Story
Christianity is a picture of reality. It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end. In The Story of Reality, best-selling author and host of Stand to Reason Gregory Koukl explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story.

Variable audio quality but FANTASTIC content
This is a live classroom audio recording covering several different classroom sessions, so the audio levels are not consistent and there are some very poor audio moments. The content is exceptional, however, and the teacher is brilliant (and quite entertaining). I highly recommend this “book” for anyone interested in learning about the long and colorful history of Christian apologetics .

Audio quality and argument from conclusion
The course is likely taped lectures over decades. One will often notice low quality audio, ambient noise, and classroom Q&A. The professor is very knowledgeable, and the content is quite good. One will note it is presented with the expectation that the conclusion is pre-supposed. This is not a pro and con style philosophical approach. Other than that, definitely worth your time

Great Apologetics material
Dr. John W. Montgomery is a real scholar. He has a very broad knowledge in this area. His material does more than instruct the hearer but he also inspires. I couldn't recommend his material highly enough.

Technical Issue, Makes Audio Unbearable
The Voice has an equally competing noise of background hum. This is unfortunate since its so easily scrubbed out in just a few seconds with any modern audio application. 14 hours of solid content with an annoying highway in the background competing for your attention with the content, makes it not worth the journey. Someone in charge of this audio, please take 5 minutes and run this through a filter to remove it!
